Justice Behind the Iron Curtain
In Justice behind the Iron Curtain, Gabriel N. Finder and Alexander V. Prusin examine Poland's role in prosecuting Nazi German criminals during the first decade and a half of the postwar era. Finder and Prusin contend that the Polish trials of Nazi war criminals were a pragmatic political response to postwar Polish society and Poles' cravings for vengeance against German Nazis. Although characterized by numerous inconsistencies, Poland's prosecutions of Nazis exhibited a fair degree of due process and resembled similar proceedings in Western democratic counties. The authors examine reactions to the trials among Poles and Jews. Although Polish-Jewish relations were uneasy in the wake of the extremely brutal German wartime occupation of Poland, postwar Polish prosecutions of German Nazis placed emphasis on the fate of Jews during the Holocaust. Justice behind the Iron Curtain is the first work to approach communist Poland's judicial postwar confrontation with the legacy of the Nazi occupation.
Nasza Pani z Ravensbruck
Jest 24 listopada 1947 roku. W gmachu Muzeum Narodowego w Krakowie zbiera się Najwyższym Trybunał Narodowy, który ma sądzić nazistowskich zbrodniarzy. Proces uważnie śledzą byli więźniowie obozów koncentracyjnych, a także polskie i amerykańskie media. Na salę wprowadzani są kolejni oskarżeni. Wśród nich brakuje jednak Johanny Langefeld – byłej strażniczki obozów w Ravensbrück i w Auschwitz. Oskarżona uciekła. Parę lat później zaczną chodzić słuchy, że ktoś pomógł jej uciec. Obiegną Kraków relacje tak nieprawdopodobne, że trudno będzie dać im wiarę. Bo czy naprawdę mogło być tak, że Johannę Langefeld uwolniły z Montelupich dawne więźniarki Ravensbrück? Ofiary miałyby uratować kata? Takie rzeczy się przecież nie zdarzają. Książka Marty Grzywacz to opowieść o jednej z najbardziej tajemniczych i kontrowersyjnych postaci nazistowskiego systemu zagłady.
The Greater German Reich and the Jews
Between 1935 and 1940, the Nazis incorporated large portions of Europe into the German Reich. The contributors to this volume analyze the evolving anti-Jewish policies in the annexed territories and their impact on the Jewish population, as well as the attitudes and actions of non-Jews, Germans, and indigenous populations. They demonstrate that diverse anti-Jewish policies developed in the different territories, which in turn affected practices in other regions and even influenced Berlin’s decisions. Having these systematic studies together in one volume enables a comparison - based on the most recent research - between anti-Jewish policies in the areas annexed by the Nazi state. The results of this prizewinning book call into question the common assumption that one central plan for persecution extended across Nazi-occupied Europe, shifting the focus onto differing regional German initiatives and illuminating the cooperation of indigenous institutions.
Crime and Justice, Volume 41
Prosecutors are powerful figures in any criminal justice system. They decide what crimes to prosecute, whom to pursue, what charges to file, whether to plea bargain, how aggressively to seek a conviction, and what sentence to demand. In the United States, citizens can challenge decisions by police, judges, and corrections officials, but courts keep their hands off the prosecutor. Curiously, in the United States and elsewhere, very little research is available that examines this powerful public role. And there is almost no work that critically compares how prosecutors function in different legal systems, from state to state or across countries. Prosecutors and Politics begins to fill that voi...
The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Encyclopedia of Camps and Ghettos, 1933-1945
Created by the Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, the monumental 7-volume encyclopaedia that the present work inaugurates will make available - in one place for the first time - detailed information about the universe of camps, sub-camps, and ghettos established and operated by the Nazis - altogether some 20,000 sites, from Norway to North Africa and from France to Russia. This volume covers three groups of camps: the early camps established in the first year of Hitler's rule, the major concentration camps with their constellations of sub-camps that operated under the control of the SS-Business Administration Main Office, and youth camps. Overview essays precede entries on individual camps and sub-camps. Each entry provides basic information about the purpose of the site; the prisoners, guards, working and living conditions; and key events in its history. Material drawn from personal testimonies helps convey the character of each site, while source citations for each entry provide a path to additional information.
