Join us as we bring Nuremberg at 80: An International Reflection to a close. One year. Dozens of voices. One conversation that isn’t really over.
After Nuremberg: What Do We Carry Forward?
Historians will reflect on how the Nuremberg Trials reshaped the global understanding of justice, responsibility, and the rule of law.

#OTD in #Nuremberg — October 1, 1946 — Trial Day 218:

The Tribunal read its verdicts on the individual defendants. Göring, Ribbentrop, Keitel, Rosenberg, Jodl, and Neurath were convicted on all four counts, and Raeder on all three counts against him.
October 1, 2026 at 3:17 PM
Today, the group explored some of the places that tell the story of Nuremberg. The day offered plenty of history, but also plenty of opportunities to think about how a city remembers its past, and what those memories mean today.

Follow along for the final day of the journey.

After being immersed in some of the heaviest chapters of European history, the group had a change of pace!

Sometimes even a history trip needs a little room to breathe. 😉 🍷

Tomorrow, it’s back to Nuremberg to get into it's history and legacy.

Weekend recap from Berlin! Kristan and the Chautauqua Travels group spent two days exploring Berlin’s history. From Jewish life and resistance to the rise and fall of the Nazi regime, and connecting that history to Jewish life in Germany today. Which stop would you want to learn more about?

Eight years ago, Professor Robert Tsai stood on our stage and walked us through Justice Jackson's Barnette opinion, and his warning that validating discrimination lets it "lie around like a loaded weapon" for the next emergency. He's coming back.
