Join stand-up Historian Crispin Thomas in conversation with Dr Helen Fry, the only historian to interview and write the memoirs of Howard Triest. The dramatic story of the Jewish translator who sat every day in the cells at Nuremberg with Goering Hess and the other Nazis on trial.

At the end of the Second World War, twenty-two surviving members of Hitler’s government were behind bars in Nuremberg Prison, awaiting trial for their part in the most heinous crimes in history.

The extraordinary true story of Howard Triest, the only translator to psychiatrists Dr Douglas Kelley and Dr Leon Goldensohn during the Nuremberg Trial. For twelve months he walked into the prison cells on a daily basis and sat within inches of Hitler’s henchmen and the men who sent his parents to the gas chambers of Auschwitz. Howard Triest was depicted as “Howie” in the 2025 Russell Crowe film on Nuremberg.
