How relevant are the Nuremberg Trials 75 years after their opening today? What do they mean to me personally?
Ten students of the Scharrer Middle School in Nuremberg concentrated on these and other questions.
The students attended a series of seminars and visited the historic Court Room 600 to learn more and explore the questions at a deeper level. Afterwards, they reflected on what topics affected them the most. The students then got to work, translating their experiences into rough drafts and drawings until they completed their vision for the graffiti murals.
The project has thematic and artistic aspects. The students learned basic spraying techniques and in teams of two, they could spray their personal interpretation of the Nuremberg Trials onto canvases. Carlos Lorente, from the Graffiti Academy "Style Scouts" accompanied and supported this process.
The group agreed on creating a series of graffiti. On five canvases, they show the, according to their opinion, most important aspects of the Nuremberg trials: The crimes during National Socialism, the war crimes during World War II, the cooperation of the Allied Powers to create peace, the over-all aim of justice and Court Room 600.
