The influence of the Holocaust on the Nuremberg trials was significant in that it highlighted the need for accountability and justice for the atrocities committed. The trials helped establish the precedent that individuals could be held responsible for committing crimes against humanity, genocide, and war crimes. This influence carried over into international law, leading to the development of new legal frameworks and institutions to address and prosecute such crimes in the future. The Nuremberg trials set a standard for international justice and laid the groundwork for the establishment of the International Criminal Court and other mechanisms to hold perpetrators of mass atrocities accountable. The Holocaust's impact on the Nuremberg trials and international law has been enduring and continues to shape legal and ethical responses to human rights violations around the world.
