State prisons played an indispensable part in the terror of the
Third Reich, incarcerating many hundreds of thousands of men and
women during the Nazi era. This important book illuminates the
previously unknown world of Nazi prisons, their victims, and the
judicial and penal officials who built and operated this system of
brutal legal terror. Nikolaus Wachsmann describes the operation and
function of legal terror in the Third Reich and brings Nazi prisons
to life through the harrowing stories of individual inmates.
Drawing on a vast array of archival materials, he traces the series
of changes in prison policies and practice that led eventually to
racial terror, brutal violence, slave labor, starvation, and mass
killings. Wachsmann demonstrates that "ordinary" legal officials
were ready collaborators who helped to turn courts and prisons into
key components in the Nazi web of terror. And he concludes with a
discussion of the whitewash of the Nazi legal system in postwar
West Germany.
