`An important fresh perspective not only on the Auschwitz Trial but also on the role of German historians in handling the Nazi past.' - Jost Dulffer, Emeritus Professor of Modern History, University of Cologne, `The essential impulses that saw contemporary historians begin to engage with the topic of the murder of European Jews emerged from the judiciary. Mathew Turner reveals the benefits of this engagement and the critical role Fritz Bauer and the Auschwitz trial played for contemporary history and historiography. A rarely considered, but important connection, one that represents the precise focus of this study.' - Professor Sybille Steinbacher, Director of the Fritz Bauer Institute, An outstanding piece of academic research distinguished by its distinctive approach, clear structure, originality, persuasive argumentation and skilful language. It offers new insights on the relationship between law and history and the collision between historical expertise and judicial norms. - Emeritus Professor Dr Konrad Kwiet, Resident Historian, Sydney Jewish Museum, 'An important analysis providing significant new knowledge on an essential area of Germany's coming to terms with the past in the 1960s and beyond.' - Professor Magnus Brechtken, Deputy Director, Institute for Contemporary History, Munich
