(Go On! is an occasional item on symposia of interest) This past year a permanent exhibit, "Courtroom 600 - Project "Memorial Nuremberg Trials," has been established in the Palace of Justice at which the International Military Tribunal and 12 subsequent U.S. military tribunals convened under Control Council Law No. 10. To recognize this development, Nuremberg’s Documentation Centre will convene a conference entitled "'That Four Great Nations': The Nuremberg Trials: Taking Stock" from October 1 to 3, 2009, at the Documentation Centre in Nuremberg. (credit for 2007 photo below right, by me, of Courtroom 600)Session topics and participants:

I do hope they'll publish the papers, given that this promises to generate a rich information trove to complement this IntLawGrrl's Women at Nuremberg research.
