Un judici, quatre idiomes: els pioners de la interpretació simultània a Nuremberg

How was simultaneous interpretation born, an essential tool for international communication today? The exhibition "Un judici, quatre idiomes: els pioners de la interpretació simultània a Nuremberg" invites visitors to discover the origins of this modern profession through one of the most decisive events of the 20th century: the Nuremberg Trials. The exhibition, organised by AIIC Espanya, focuses on the interpreters who made possible, for the first time officially, simultaneous communication between English, French, Russian and German during the trial against the main leaders of the Nazi regime after the Second World War. Their work guaranteed the right to a defence and laid the foundations of a profession essential for international organisations, institutions, companies and events around the world. Curated by German interpreter Elke Limberger-Katsumi (AIIC member), the exhibition brings together content in four languages, historical photographs and materials that illustrate both the technological and the human challenge posed by this historic milestone.
