Abstract

What was work like for the interpreters at the Nuremberg Trials? How did they feel about the confrontation with the Nazi criminals? What influence did their work in Nuremberg have on their further career? The main emphasis is on the reminiscences of the interpreter Siegfried Ramler. His remarks on the then innovative simultaneous techniques offer insight into the beginnings of simultaneous interpreting.
