Michael R. Marrus. The Nuremberg War Crimes Trial, 1945–46: A Brief History with Documents
A wise mentor of mine once told me early in my career that the hardest part of writing was learning what to leave out. If that is true, then the “brief history” subgenre of historical writing must be among the most difficult. These short volumes, generally geared toward undergraduate students, impose serious constraints on their authors. Providing adequate coverage of an often vast topic in a few pages without losing a sense of either the scope o…

Beyond the Racial State: Rethinking Nazi Germany
The 'racial state' has become a familiar shorthand for the Third Reich, encapsulating its raison d'être, ambitions, and the underlying logic of its genocidal violence. The Nazi racial state's agenda is generally understood as a fundamental reshaping of society based on a new hierarchy of racial value. However, this volume argues that it is time to reappraise what race really meant under Nazism, and to question and complicate its relationship to t…

Toward a New Politics? On the Recent Historiography of Human Rights
When the late Kenneth Cmiel undertook the first systematic analysis of the emerging historiography of human rights in 2004, he surveyed a field that was ‘refreshingly inchoate’. In the ensuing seven years, the scholarship on the history of human rights has burgeoned considerably. Yet one might still reasonably characterise the field overall as inchoate. Like any new subfield of historical inquiry, there is a clear lack of consensus among leading …
Retroactive Law and Proactive Justice: Debating Crimes against Humanity in Germany, 1945–1950
The Nuremberg Trial may well be the most famous trial of the twentieth century, which is as it should be. After all, the Nuremberg Trial, while perhaps not as unprecedented as is frequently assumed, did mark a decisive turning point in the history of international law. It marked the first broadly successful attempt to impose the rule of law not just on the conduct of war but also, in a limited way, on domestic atrocities as well. The fame of this…
Seeking Justice, Finding Law: Nazi Trials in Postwar Europe
Explaining the Third Reich: Ethics, Beliefs, Interests
In recent years, the historiography of Nazi Germany has taken what Neil Gregor has called a “voluntarist turn.” By this, Gregor means that the recent literature on Nazi Germany has emphasized “that the panoply of organizations actively involved in occupation and murder, the number of German men and women who actively participated in these crimes, and the range of places in which they committed them, was much, much greater than has hitherto been a…

Eichmann in Jerusalem, Arendt in Frankfurt: The Eichmann Trial, the Auschwitz Trial, and the Banality of Justice
Hannah Arendt's Eichmann in Jerusalem retains its importance largely because the dilemmas with which it wrestles have, if anything, grown rather than diminished in significance since it first appeared in the early 1960s. While Arendt rightly saw the Holocaust as an unprecedented crime, many of the moral and legal paradoxes central to her analysis of Nazi trials are in fact not specific to Holocaust trials as Holocaust trials.1 Rather, they pertai…
