The Robert H. Jackson Center is co-sponsoring several events during Security and Justice Week at the Chautauqua Institution.
The week of presentations will kick off with the showing of the movie Judgement at Nuremberg at 1:30 p.m. Sunday at the Cinema Theater.
The 1961 film portrays the post-World War II trial of German judges as war criminals. Spencer Tracy plays the lead role. Other actors include Marlene Dietrich, Judy Garland, Bert Lancaster, Maximillian Schell and Richard Widmark.
The film is an addition to David Zinman's Chautauqua Film Class. Zinman interviewed Stanley Kramer, producer of the film, and will provide comments about the movie. The showing will include comments by John Q. Barrett, Elisabeth S. Lenna Fellow of the Jackson Center.
On Tuesday, 10 Jamestown fifth-graders will present a mock trial - Big Bad Wolf v. Curly Pig: A Civil Trial. The event will start at 2 p.m. and will be held at the Girls Club Building.
The highlight of the week will be lectures by two prominent speakers.
At 10:45 a.m. Tuesday, John Barrett will deliver and address titles Justice Robert H. Jackson on Security, Liberty and Law. Barrett is the editor of That Man: An Insider's Memoir of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jackson's memoir of his years with President Roosevelt. The book will be available for the first time at Chautauqua Institution during the week. Barrett is also writing a biography of Jackson focused on his role as chief prosecutor at Nuremberg.
John E. Dolibois, former U.S. ambassador to Luxembourg, will speak at a Brown Bag Lunch at 12:15 p.m. on the Chautauqua Scientific and Literary Circle Alumni Hall lawn. In 1945 Dolibois interrogated many of the former German government officials who later became defendants at Nuremberg.
On Thursday, the film Of Civil Wrongs and Rights: The Fred Korematsu Story will be shown at the Jackson Center at 2 p.m.. The documentary film by Eric Paul Fournier chronicles the life and struggles of Fred Korematsu, a Japanese-American who took his appeal against the Roosevelt administration's policy of interning Japanese-Americans to the Supreme Court. Barrett will comment on the film.
