Abby Mann, playwright of Judgment at Nuremberg, (center) takes an opening night bow with his cast on March 23 at the Longacre Theatre.
Mann's play covers an infamous German trial where the Nazis and German patriotism were taken to court. Were the Third Reich's officers merely good soldiers, following orders by slaughtering Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals and Poles or should they be held responsible for these crimes against humanity?
