the letter prosecutors at the nuremberg trials prove that soviet prisoners were

a) treated well despite the conditions.

b) treated poorly.

c) subject to execution.

d) subject to crimes against peace.

The correct answer is B. The letter helped prosecutors at the Nuremberg Trials prove that Soviet prisoners were treated poorly in the Nazi concentration camps, as the great majority of them were unable to work (if not dead) after their internment, which means that they were treated in inhumane conditions by the Nazis, leaving them starve to death, torturing them, and committing many other atrocities against them.

in the 1800s, chinese workers migrated to the united states, first to work in the gold mines, but also to take agricultural jobs, and factory work, especially in the garment industry. chinese immigrants were particularly instrumental in building railroads in the american west, and as chinese laborers grew successful in the united states, a number of them became entrepreneurs in their own right. as the numbers of chinese laborers increased, so did the strength of anti-chinese sentiment among other workers in the american economy. this finally resulted in legislation that aimed to limit future immigration of chinese workers to the united states, and threatened to sour diplomatic relations between the united states and china.
