Итог:Can there ever be justice for victims of the Holocaust? Some Measure of Justice explores the Holocaust redress movement of the 1990s—triggered by lawsuits in the United States primarily against Swiss banks, German and American corporations, insurance companies, and individuals and institutions in possession of once-looted works of art. Claimants and their attorneys have alleged the wrongful enrichment of parties who, whether innocently or knowingly, profited from or were complicit in the Holocaust. Marrus explores the goals of the movement, why it emerged when it did, how it compares to earlier reparation to Jewish individuals and institutions, its significance for the historical representation of the Holocaust, and its wider implications.
