Listen Later

What really happened inside the booths at the Nuremberg Trials?

In this episode, we sit down with Elke Limberger-Katsumi, creator and curator of the exhibition "One Trial, Four Languages," to explore the pioneering interpreters who made simultaneous interpretation possible at Nuremberg in 1945 — and why their story still matters today.We discuss how interpreters were recruited and screened, the birth of simultaneous interpretation, the role of IBM, the yellow and red light system, and the emotional toll on interpreters working through some of history's darkest testimony.🔗 One Trial, Four Languages exhibition: www.1trial-4languages.org🔗 Association managing the project: www.profession-of-interpreting.org🔗 AIIC (International Association of Conference Interpreters): www.aiic.org🔗 AIIC on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/aiic🔗 World of Interpreting (Conference Interpreting - Past, Present, Future): https://www.linkedin.com/company/world-of-interpreting🎙️ Found in Interpretation PodcastHosted by Alain Breton & Brian Bickford
