The collection consists of the cyclostyled minutes/stenographic records (250,000 pages) of each of the 12 subsequent trials, which were submitted as copies to all national delegations participating in the Nuremberg negotiations. The collection is supplemented by several folders containing various documents, such as witness interviews or sentences handed down, etc. The Czechoslovak delegate to the Commission for the Prosecution of War Criminals, Bohuslav Ečer, who was also the Czechoslovak delegate to the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg from August 1945, sent this collected material through his office to the Ministry of the Interior and other central authorities in Czechoslovakia. The Nuremberg Trials represent a series of military trials held after World War II to indict prominent leaders of Nazi Germany. The first and most famous trial of 24 major war criminals, such as Martin Bormann, Hermann Göring and Rudolf Hess, took place before the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg from 20 November 1945 to 1 October 1946. This grand trial was followed by 12 trials (known as the subsequent Nuremberg trials), which were held at Nuremberg before American military tribunals and in which 184 other individuals responsible for the economic, political and military affairs of the Third Reich were tried between 1946 and 1949.
