In 2026, the Robert H. Jackson Center celebrates 25 years of advancing civic understanding and public discourse with a special yearlong lecture series: 25 Years of Asking Questions. This series will examine some of the most pressing questions facing American democracy, inviting the community to explore how constitutional principles intersect with the challenges of our time.
The new film Nuremberg (2025), starring Remi Malek as Douglas Kelley, Russell Crowe as Hermann Göring, and Michael Shannon as Robert H. Jackson, dramatizes a story that remains impossible to tell completely or correctly in two and a half hours. We, here at the Robert H. Jackson Center, want to give you insight into the full story of what happened in that courtroom and why it still matters. Eighty years later, the questions raised in Nuremberg continue to echo today: Can law restrain power? Can reason overcome hatred? What makes ordinary people complicit in extraordinary crimes?
Programs like this remind us that civic education is not just about learning the rules of democracy, it’s about keeping its spirit alive in every classroom.
