US EditionNew film ‘Nuremberg’ highlights psychiatrist who analyzed Hermann Göring
The film, based on Jack El-Hai's 2013 book, highlights psychiatrist Kelley’s analysis of Nazi leaders' mental fitness and his warnings about fascism’s persistent threat.
- Directed by James Vanderbilt, 'Nuremberg' centers on Hermann Göring's conversations with Dr. Douglas M. Kelley and is based on Jack El‑Hai's 2013 book, starring Russell Crowe and Rami Malek.
- Kelley was assigned to determine if Göring and more than 20 other Nazi officials were fit to stand trial, conducting many hours of interviews at facilities in Luxembourg and Nuremberg.
- Kelley's evaluations showed defendants were not 'foaming‑at‑the‑mouth crazy' and lacked remorse, concluding they had neuroses but no shared disorder except possibly Robert Ley who killed himself before trial.
- After returning home, Dr. Douglas M. Kelley lectured widely, published 22 Cells in Nuremberg, was monitored by the FBI for suspected political subversion, and took his own life in 1958, his son said.
- El‑Hai says the story resonates now because Kelley warned Nazism could reemerge in the U.S., and the film 'Nuremberg' diminishes Göring's luster, highlighting this warning.
