Trial at Nuremberg discusses and describes the trials that Nazi leaders faced for what they put Jews through. Many leaders killed themselves before these trials, including Adolf Hitler. For the leaders who were not already dead, most of them would soon be sentenced to death for their horrible crimes committed during WWII. The authors reasoning for writing this book was to inform people of these Nazi leaders trials and their punishments for doing those horrifying crimes. The author, along with many others, believe that the holocaust should never be forgotten. The author wrote this book to inform and remind us of those times. The theme of this book was kind of hard to identify, but I believe that it is no crime goes unpunished. These Nazi's were responsible for millions of deaths and most of them all got what they deserved. A few got a way without ever being caught though. This book is expository. Expository writing is a type of writing that is used to explain, describe, give information, or inform. The text is organized around one topic. This book informs us of these trials against the Nazi leaders. This book was short and to the point. I enjoyed it because it also showed what was happening with pictures. The holocaust was such an unimaginable time the pictures sort of bring us to reality. We should never forget what happened during the holocaust and this book is a great reminder.
