What is justice after the Holocaust? That is the question posed by “The Trials,” a new exhibition at Sweden’s Holocaust Museum.

The exhibition examines the aftermath of the Holocaust, one of the great traumas of 20th-century Europe. It will remain open for at least a year.

The museum’s question reaches beyond the trials themselves. The Holocaust’s continuing repercussions can be seen in institutions, conventions and legal concepts that remain central to today’s world order, as well as in artistic works across many genres.
