Judgment at Nuremberg, written by Abby Man, is about a US military tribunal in which its defendants, Ernst Janning (Minister of Justice) and Emil Hahn, a prosecutor, are charged with crimes against humanity during the Nazi regime.

Kevin Kelly, Michael Merton, Holger Moncada, Lydia Muijen, Barry Salzman, Jodi Skeris, Lisa Temple, John Zderko and Rafael Noble.
