| Résumé: | Few historical processes tell us as much about assessing evidence, individual and collective accountability, or the vision of a world guided by common legal principles as the various trials of German war criminals after 1945. As Norbert Frei's Vergangenheitspolitik (1996) and Nathan Stoltzfus and Henry Friedlander's Nazi Crimes and the Law (2008) demonstrate, recent trends in research are directed more towards assessing the postwar impact and relative success of trials than toward mobilizing evidence of Nazi criminality.1 Introducing Reassessing the Nuremberg Military Tribunals, Michael Marrus criticizes Telford Taylor's The Anatomy of the Nuremberg Trials (1992) for “erroneously … inexplicably using the plural” while focusing solely on the International Military Tribunal (IMT) (p. xi). |
