Entrechtung erfahren

Texts that bear witness to the extremes of the 20 th century, from the Shoah to imprisonment in camps, to the experience of torture, or the Gulag, describe the individual experience and, at the same time, a process that points beyond one’s own fate and has something to do with the essence of law. The authors describe a concrete and fundamental sense of the legal status of an individual. Simultaneously, the legal principle is touched, violated, and destroyed, on which selfhood, and with it, an interpersonal sense of being human is based
