The Nuremberg Trials was a Soviet-made documentary film about the trials of the Nazi leadership. It was produced by Roman Karmen. Most of the film describes the Nazis' crimes in detail, particularly those committed in the Soviet Union. It claims that if not stopped, the Nazis would have "turned the whole world into a Majdanek". Interestingly it refers to Auschwitz by its Polish name of Oświęcim, rather than the German name by which it is usually known in the English-speaking world.
