This morning we are learning that pages from the Nuremberg Laws are being handed over to the National Archives.

These papers carried by Gen. George Patton out of Germany illegally  and given to Huntington are being turned over to the government-run National Archives.

“Had General Patton not taken these documents, they would have been part of the collection the government was putting together in order to prepare for the Nuremberg trials,” Koblik said.

Patton, instead, deposited the papers at The Huntington in 1945. The general grew up next door to the library and his father once worked for its namesake, railroad baron Henry Huntington.
