Legal scholars shed light on the enormous impact of the Holocaust through analysis of ten important yet underreported Nazi trials. In the wake of the Second World War, the Allies faced the dilemma of how to respond to the unimaginable crime of the Holocaust. Even in an ideal world, it would have been impossible to bring all the perpetrators to trial. Nevertheless, an attempt was made to prosecute some. This book uncovers ten "forgotten trials" of the Holocaust, selected from the many Nazi trials that have taken place over the decades. It showcases how perpetrators of the Holocaust were dealt with in courtrooms around the world, revealing the different strategies of trial lawyers and the concerns and decision of various judges. Forgotten Trials of the Holocaust provides a graphic picture of the genocidal campaign against the Jews through eyewitness testimony and incriminating documents. It then traces how these trials factored into—or were emitted from—the formation of our public memory concerning the Holocaust.
