Natalie Livingstone On The Forgotten Women Of Nuremberg

Historian Natalie Livingstone joins Andrew Roberts to uncover the overlooked stories of the women at the Nuremberg trials. From a brilliant American lawyer denied the chance to present her own case to a French Resistance survivor whose testimony confronted Nazi atrocities, these women helped shape the pursuit of justice. Drawing on her book The Nuremberg Women: The Untold Story of the Eight Women Who Brought the Nazis to Justice and her own family’s Holocaust history, Livingstone explores courage, complicity, and unexpected moments of hope—and why Nuremberg’s commitment to evidence and truth still matters today.
