Human Rights Film+ Series: Letters from Nuremberg
Wednesday, October 20, 2021
5:00-6:30 PM
For seventy-five years, the Nuremberg trials have symbolized the principles of dispassionate justice and the rule of law even when cries of vengeance threaten to carry the day. Thomas J. Dodd, a future U.S. Senator from Connecticut and the father of U.S. Senator Christopher J. Dodd, spent fifteen long months as part of the US legal team at the first and most significant trial in 1945-46, serving as the Executive Trial Counsel – the number two prosecutor in the U.S. contingent. During this time, he wrote hundreds of letters home to his wife Grace. Later these letters, along with an extensive collection of documents and photographs from the trial, were gifted to UConn Libraries’ Archives and Special Collections. In 2021, a group of UConn students, in collaboration with the Archives and under the supervision of filmmaker and faculty member Catherine Masud, worked together to produce a short documentary on the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg. This story is partly told through Dodd’s letters and also features Christopher Dodd and other reflecting on Dodd’s role and the enduring significance of Nuremberg in today’s turbulent and challenging times.
Discussants:
Sen. Christopher J. Dodd
Catherine Masud
Rebecca Parmer and Betsy Pittman of Library Archives & Special Collections
Moderated by Glenn Mitoma
Joined by a select group of UConn Digital Media and Design and Human Rights students.

Participants will receive a certificate of attendance after attending the entire duration of the event and completion of the feedback form (certificates will be issued to participants within 1 week of the event).
