I’m not saying it doesn’t happen, but I try to never post anything false relating to the news or actual events. I also try to never post lies, unless I’m correctly quoting the liberal or Democrat who posted it first. I know you’ve probably all seen the first posting below that shows a public hanging and indicates that it is a “photograph of hangings at Nuremberg, Germany. (#1) That is false. After much digging I have found the other documents and photos that show that the photograph was taken at a Public hanging in Kiev, Ukraine for Germans convicted of war crimes after WWII. Of much surprise was a short video clip of the actual event. (#4)

AFP found the photo was shared in this academic paper (https://muse.jhu.edu/article/43136/pdf) that states it shows the public hanging of “Germans convicted of war crimes” in Kiev after World War II.
The paper lists the Ukrainian Central State Archive of Documentary Film and Photography as the source for the photo, which was obtained via the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM) (https://www.ushmm.org) archives.
In a June 15 email to AFP, the USHMM confirmed the photo is part of their catalog which is not available online but only on site for researchers.  
The USHMM also supplied the original photo caption, which reads: “
Germans convicted of war crimes. Kiev 1946.” The photo from USHMM: (#2)
Photos and videos which appear to show same public execution in Kiev but taken at different angles are publicly available here (https://www.agefotostock.com/age/en/details-photo/photograph-of-a-public-execution-of-german-soldiers-in-kiev-dated-1946/IAM-WHA-047-0499) (#3) on stock photography website Agefotostock and here (https://www.gettyimages.com.au/detail/video/trial-nazi-criminals-in-kiev-trucks-bring-the-condemned-news-footage/1031437508) (#4) on Getty Images. I didn’t expect it but this turned out to be a video of parts of the trial and the hanging.
One media member.
Only one member of the media was convicted and hanged during the Nuremberg trials, Richard Wilson, Professor of Anthropology and Law at the University of Connecticut, told AFP on June 11, 2021.
Julius Streicher (https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/julius-streicher-biography) (#5) founded and ran the anti-semitic newspaper Der Steurmer, which became a central element of the Nazi propaganda machine.
An analysis by AFP through the list of the Nuremberg executions (https://www.nationalww2museum.org/war/topics/nuremberg-trials) also found Julius Streicher was the only member of the media among the names.
