Flynn, College of the Holy Cross * Choice Magazine * Impressively researched and rich in detail, Justice behind the Iron Curtain is the first comprehensive study of Nazi trials in postwar Poland, and as such constitutes a very important contribution to scholarship on the history of war crimes prosecution. The book provides fascinating insights into how the trials created an institutional space (perhaps the only one in postwar Poland) in which the specific suffering of the Jewish people was acknowledged - even though this ran counter to the official communist memory of the war, which erased the distinction between Jewish and non-Jewish victims of Nazism. -- Franziska Exeler, University of Cambridge, Free University Berlin * <EM>Slavic Review</EM> *
