In the End. The Nuremberg Diaries

Boris Nikolaevich Polevoy (1908-1981) is known not only as a remarkable writer but also as a journalist-correspondent who experienced the entire Great Patriotic War and completed it by signing the act of unconditional surrender of Germany. As a special correspondent for the newspaper "Pravda," he was tasked with covering the course of the Nuremberg trials of the main Nazi war criminals. B. Polevoy's reports on the trials formed the basis of the book "In the End," where he provided expressive portraits of the members of the International Tribunal, the defendants, as well as his colleagues who worked with him in Nuremberg. The writer reflects on the inhumane essence of Nazism, showing all the evil it brought to humanity, and the inevitability of retribution that befell its creators.
