The Frankfurt Auschwitz trial was the largest, most public, and
most important trial of Holocaust perpetrators conducted in West
German courts. Drawing on a wide range of archival sources, Devin
O. Pendas provides a comprehensive history of this momentous event.
Situating the trial in a thorough analysis of West German criminal
law, this book argues that in confronting systematic,
state-sponsored genocide, the Frankfurt court ran up against the
limits of law. Because many of the key categories of German
criminal law were defined with direct reference to the specific
motives of the defendants, the trial was unable to adequately grasp
the deep social roots and systematic character of Nazi genocide.
Much of the trial's significance came from the vast public
attention it captured, and this book provides a compelling account
of the divided response to the trial among the West German public.
