A conference was held in Moscow between 20 and 21 November to symbolically mark the 80th anniversary of the start of the Nuremberg trials (20 November 1945), attended by Dr. Daniel Siter, researcher at the MRC Maribor and assistant professor and researcher at the Alma Mater Europaea University. The plenary day took place in the central exhibition hall Manež, where an exhibition reconstruction room from Nuremberg was staged, and original recordings were also shown. The second part of the conference continued in the Victory Museum. Dr. Siter conducted several in-depth interviews and presented his research, and gave a lecture at the Victory Museum in which, based on archival documents, civil registry books and private documentary material from Switzerland, Germany, Austria and Great Britain, as well as fieldwork, he revealed the careers, life paths and fates of the main commanders of the prisoner-of-war camp (Stammlager XVIII D) in Maribor. They avoided post-war identification, judicial hearings and proceedings, and criminal responsibility for war crimes committed (especially against Soviet prisoners of war) during World War II in Maribor.
