The Nuremburg trials were a relief to all of humanity. They were the greatest thing to ever happen in the course of this world's history. You have severely underestimated them with your simple definition, but it works, I suppose.

Nazis did some evil shit. But on the real, I think the biggest mistake the world made in response to their actions was dehumanizing them in their minds. Like, how does that make you any better. Nazis are people just like you are.
Agreed x100. Often when asked why the Nazis did what they did, people will simply reply "they're evil... duh!" Such views completely ignore the reality of it all - how Nazi policies made complete sense given what they believed, how what they believed wasn't anything beyond comprehension, and what the Nazis would have looked like to a contemporary of the time. This is dangerous for it makes people naive, and setting them up to fall for yet another "Nazi regime." "Good" and "evil" are horrible social constructs which overly simplifies a situation, depending on the way an individual perceives it. Such "evil" is not out of the realm of possibilities today, and nor will it look "evil" in the way we think of it. Moreover, designating the Nazis as evil allows one to cast off whoever sympathizes with the Nazis and / or is critical of just how evil they really were as "evil" as well. This is convenient, for it allows such things that resulted from things such as the holocaust (Israel in particular is believed to be legitimized by the holocaust, but also the Nuremberg Trials) to go unquestioned, and if questioned, that person is easily discredited.

I question the holocaust.

Yeah, I mean, as hilarious as the Nuremberg trials go in my head (especially with katt Williams as the judge) there were without doubt some SERIOUS and numerous miscarriages of justice.
