In the fall of 1945, the first in a series of military tribunals took place in the Palace of Justice in Nuremberg, Germany; the purpose of the investigation was to try members of the Third Reich for war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by Axis forces during World War II, and to document what had happened under their watch. The trials were filmed for posterity, and filmmakers Stuart Schulberg and Budd Schulberg were commissioned by American intelligence to make a film that would offer a concise but accurate summary of what had been revealed during the Nuremberg Trials. Incorporating footage from the trials with material from Nazi propaganda films and newsreel images of the consequences of the German pogroms, Nuremberg: Its Lesson for Today was shown in German theaters in 1948 in an effort to educate German citizens about the full extent of their former leaders' crimes. However, the film fell out of circulation within a few years, and was never released in the United States. In 2005, Sandra Schulberg (Stuart's daughter) and Josh Waletzky spearheaded an effort to restore the documentary and create an English-language version; five years later, the restored print (featuring newly recorded narration by Liev Schreiber) was an official selection at the 2010 Toronto Jewish Film Festival.
