We envision a global society where the universal principles of equality, fairness, and justice prevail.
For over twenty years, we have honored and promoted the legacy of Robert H. Jackson, U.S. Solicitor General, U.S. Attorney General, U.S. Supreme Court Justice, and Chief U.S. Prosecutor of the International Military Tribunal in Nuremberg.
The Jackson Center advances the legacy of Justice Robert H. Jackson through education, using a variety of methods including in-person and virtual programs and presentations, exhibits, available media, and scholarship. We demonstrate the contemporary relevance and applicability of Justice Jackson’s ideas and work to current and future generations.
Bear witness to the world of Anne Frank and other young people living through the Holocaust, from the point of view of Anne Frank’s “best friend.”
Sarah is a historically accurate composite character, based on the testimonies of those who knew Anne Frank, as well as other victims, resisters and survivors of the Holocaust and World War II.
Like Anne Frank, Sarah is a young Jewish girl in Amsterdam when Hitler comes to power in the 1930s, whose experiences under Nazi rule, in hiding and through the concentration camps parallel Anne’s story.
Through the Eyes of a Friend remains faithful to Anne Frank’s life and her world.
Please note performances on 5/14 are near capacity; call ahead with expected attendance to confirm availability before scheduling transportation.

This is the true story of Kurt and Edith Leuchter, as told by their daughter Deborah Stueber, with poignant and surprisingly amusing recollections from Edith and Kurt surviving the Holocaust, fighting Nazis in the French Resistance, and making a new life in America.
Debbie Leuchter Stueber is a part of Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh’s Generations Speakers Series and has spoken at schools, universities, libraries, and other various organizations sharing her parents’ Holocaust experience. Now 96 and 97 years old, sharing their story has become her passion for the last several years. She feels strongly that it’s the responsibility of her generation and generations to come to carry on the survivors’ legacy.
During a webinar on December 19, 2024, scholars of international affairs, Professor Jennifer Trahan and Ambassador David Scheffer explained the processes of International Criminal Court arrest warrants, discussed the warrants issued for Israeli and Hamas leaders, enforcement of those warrants, and the larger implications for international criminal justice.
The Robert H. Jackson Center is making available and organizing as resources both audio and video recordings of the Nuremberg trial proceedings. This guide, featuring links to those recordings, is organized in chronological order.

Raymond D’Addario was one of a few photographers assigned by the Army Pictorial Service to document the International Military Tribunal in Nuremberg, Germany. On November 21, 1945, senior Nazi officials took their seats in Courtroom 600 in the Palace of Justice. Ray’s photograph of the main defendants sitting in the docket surrounded by U.S. military guards has become the iconic symbol of the trial.
