This is a beaitiful article on my great uncle Dr. Leon Goldensohn, who served as the US Army’s Chief Psychiatrist in Nuremberg, where he assessed N**i criminals (like Hermann Goering) who were on trial after WW2. The new movie, Nuremberg,(starring Rami Malik who portrays Douglas Kelley, the original psychiatrist who Leon replaced) appears to have identified the chief psychiatrist in an incomplete manner: it failed to acknowledge Dr. Leon Goldensohn and the massive job he undertook. This article sets the record straight.

The movie stars Rami Malek as the psychiatrist Douglas Kelley — but what about Leon Goldensohn, the psychiatrist who replaced Kelley?
