At the end of the war, the 26-year-old native of Holyoke, Massachusetts, was one of only a few Army photographers assigned to the International Military Tribunal in Nuremberg, Germany. D’Addario shot a great number of black and white photographs, color photographs and movies at the trials. His coverage was outstanding, despite the Tribunal’s restrictions against the use of flash bulbs. Notably, he was the first photographer to have pictures of the IMT courtroom produced in full color, in the London “Illustrated,” September 1946. A Speed Graphic camera using 4x5 film was used. Later, as Kodachome film became available, a Leica IIIc was used to make transparencies. D’Addario also shot many photographs of the city of Nuremberg. His pictures have been distributed worldwide, having been published in newspapers, magazines and books. Mr. D’Addario’s account of Nuremberg, its events and personalities is unique, revealed by the stirring images seen through the lens of his camera. Raymond D’Addario was discharged from the Army at the conclusion of the IMT to accept the position of chief photographer in the public information office of General Telford Taylor, chief U.S. Prosecutor for the twelve subsequent war crimes trials held at Nuremberg.

She currently serves as the Assistant Director of the Canadian Studies Center at Bowling Green State University, which seeks to promote greater awareness of vital Canada-United States relationships including economic, political, and cultural affairs. Concurrently, she continues to pursue a Ph.D. in Policy History from the History Department at Bowling Green State University. She holds a JD from the University of Toledo College of Law (1994), an MPA from Troy State University (1988) and a BSBA from Appalachian State University (1984). Her dissertation seeks to trace the political, legal and military use of the term “aggressive war” as posed by the Soviet Union at the 1933 Convention for the Definition of Aggression to the definition currently posed by the Russian Federation to the International Criminal Court. It is her hope that her dissertation enters and spurs on the debate as the issue is currently discussed under the auspices of the International Criminal Court. Return Home Exit
