American Heroes Channel Goes for Series on Nuremberg Trials

SILVER SPRING: Later this month, American Heroes Channel (AHC) in the U.S. is set to debut a three-part series commemorating the 70th anniversary of the Nuremberg Trials.

Titled Nuremberg: Nazi Judgment Day, the series’ hour-long episodes will draw on extensive archival research to take viewers into the minds and secret workings of the senior Nazi leadership. The program will also chronicle key figures in the Allied camp, from the judges and prosecutors to the psychologists and jailers, to help viewers understand how the trial came about.

The series will premiere November 16. The two additional chapters will roll out the following Mondays.

BBC Worldwide produced the series, with John Farren acting as executive producer. For AHC, Ron Simon is executive producer.
