The Nuremberg legislations were enacted in a special meeting during a political rally by the NSDAP in Nuremberg (Hirsch, 2013). The Reichstag was the creators of these laws.

Having watched the movie Nuremberg, several issues about the movie are debatable. The movie is based on a book written about the actual events that took place in Germany after World War 2. However, in the actual cast, the movie does not depict the true nature of events.
Entirely different accounts of what happened are not shown in the film. This action lowers the credentials of the movie about the theme of history. It is not possible to understand the real intention of the creators of the movie. A movie based on real events is supposed to be educative as it represents events that took place a long time ago. The movie will be watched by numerous people many years after it was released. Whenever the events are wrongfully illustrated, false information will be passed to the viewers.
I would recommend to people who are interested in historical events that took place in the Second World War to have a look at this film. Though the film depicts some false information of the true events that took place, it acts as a guide on what transpired during the aftermath of the Second World War.
