Overview
- Brief Narrative
- Copy print of a courtroom sketch created by Stefan Horn, an interpreter, on August 27, 1947, during Trial 3 of the Nuremberg trials held in Germany. The photographic copy is believed to have been made at the time the drawing was made. Nine officials from the Reich Ministry of Justice and 7 members of the People’s and Special Courts, were indicted on four counts in early January 1947. The trial ran from March 5 through October 18, and the tribunal returned judgement in early December 1947, finding 10 defendants guilty and acquitting four. One defendant died before the trial began, and the other was too sick to attend much of the trial, resulting in a mistrial.

Dr. Stefan Horn graduated from the School for Interpreters in Geneva, Switzerland, and held a Doctorate in rerum politicarum from the University of Vienna, in Austria.

He worked in Nuremberg, Germany, as a court interpreter, translating English into German, during part of the first War Crimes trial and during the Justice Case. He eventually became Chief Interpreter. After the trials closed in 1949, Dr. Horn joined Léon Dostert at Georgetown University, Washington, DC.
