The Nuremberg Women

In November 1945, the world watched the Nuremberg Trials, but history has overlooked the women who were central to the proceedings: preparing legal briefs, pioneering simultaneous translation, testifying as survivors, painting the scenes, and reporting on the events.

Natalie Livingstone brings to life eight extraordinary figures, including a Soviet interpreter, British painter Laura Knight, French resistance fighter, Hungarian countess Ingeborg Kalnoky, and writers like Erika Mann and Rebecca West, revealing a more intimate, chaotic, and human side of the trials amid love affairs, political tensions, and the dawn of the Cold War.
