This book examines the use of national and international law to
prosecute Nazi crimes, the centerpiece of twentieth-century
state-sponsored genocide and mass murder crimes, the paradigmatic
instance of state-sponsored criminality and genocide in the
twentieth century. In its various essays, the contributors
reconstruct the historical historical setting of the crimes
committed under the aegis of the Nazi regime and examine why
postwar adjudication took place only within limits, within the
national and international judicial forums responsible for
prosecuting perpetrators. The topics discussed include the impact
of the Nazi justice system on postwar justice, postwar legal
proceedings against those who committed war crimes and genocide,
the work of the Nuremberg tribunal and Allied trials, and judicial
investigations and prosecutions in East Germany, West Germany, and
Austria. They span the postwar period up to contemporary US legal
efforts to deport Nazi criminals within its borders and libel
trials against Holocaust denials in London and Canadian courts and
libel suits brought by Holocaust deniers in British and Canadian
courts.
