University of Toronto’s Professor Rebecca Wittmann, whose research focuses on German legal history, discusses German postwar trials of Nazi perpetrators. In this engaging talk, she discusses the distortions generated by West German Nazi trials in the postwar period. Unlike the more widely known international criminal laws used in Allied Nazi trials, German Nazi trials used a completely different legal framework which had dismal and lasting effects to German law and German Holocaust memory.
