In November 2010, the city of Nuremberg opened the first permanent exhibit on the international trial against the nazi regime held between 1945 and 1946 in this german city. The exposure of the Nuremberg Trials is located in the same building that hosted the historic trial, the Palace of Justice. Besides the permanent exhibition, visitors can access the room number 600 of the courthouse, the scene of that crucial global event.

The tour can start on the building's third floor. Here lies the permanent exhibition, which offers a thorough description of the trial and of all its participants: defendants, prosecutors, defense lawyers, judges, witnesses and journalists. The exhibition is complemented by visual images of the trial and some original objects used during the process, as two original benches where the defendants sat down, a box of U.S. military that transported revealing documents used in the trials, and a electrical control system of room 600, among others. In the center of the exhibition space, is recorded in the ground the distribution of all actors during the trial.

The exhibition also provides a description, much shorter, about judgments against the leadership of Japan's military regime, and about the 12 trials sector held in Germany between 1946 and 1949. A projection room closes the exhibition space. In this room you can hear a emotive speech of one survivor of the legal team of the United States.

From the museum also can visit the room 600, located on the second floor. The room can be visited provided that there is no trial. Although the historical site was extensively modified to conduct the trial and has adapted to modern requirements of the judiciary, its visit is essential.

The Allies chose the Palace of Justice to hold trials for their good state of preservation, their large offices -530 offices and 80 courtrooms- and above all by its direct connection to a prison. This was a key factor, given the concern of the allies about possible attacks or attempts to escape. The prison, which housed some of the most powerful nazis, like Hermann Göring who committed suicide hours before his execution, now there isn't open to the public.

In the main trial at Nuremberg were tried 22 men, one of them in absentia, Martin Bormann. The judges ruled 12 death sentences by hanging, 3 life sentences, two sentences to 20 years in prison, one sentence to 15 years, a 10-year sentence and three acquittals. It was the first time that representatives of a state had to respond to international justice for war crimes and crimes against humanity. The Nuremberg trials enabled to develop an international criminal law.
