	Auschwitz, Nazi death camp
		At Auschwitz Josef Mengele did a number of twin studies, and these twins were usually murdered after the experiment was over and their bodies dissected.
		Likewise at Auschwitz, Claubergs's colleague, Dr. Herta Oberhauser, killed children with oil and evipan injections, removed their limbs and vital organs, rubbed ground glass and sawdust into wounds...
		Carl Clauberg was put to trial in the Soviet Union and sentenced to 25 years.

	Women & The Holocaust - Personal Reflections
		The history of Auschwitz is magnified through this double lens of factual historical evidence and the way it is presented in the construct of the trial.
		The understanding of these legal issues is imperative in order to fully appreciate the trial proceedings themselves: the atmosphere in the courtroom, the strategies adopted and unfolded by the prosecution and the defence, and the role of the judge in arbitrating such a complex trial.
		In their trial testimonies, as in their written testimonies and memoirs, most of the women who appeared on the stand at the Auschwitz Trial told of their daily activities as a backdrop to their more specific testimony about the crimes of the defendants on trial.

	review of Wittmann, Auschwitz Trial, 2006
		Newspaper publications played a huge role in bringing the trial to the public, but it can be argued that their skewed view, which primarily focused on the atrocities of the Holocaust and not on the trial itself, contributed to the German public’s collective guilt resting on the shoulders of the defendants on trial.
		One of the earliest Nazi trials was the Nuremberg trial of 1945.
		Wittmann feels that the Auschwitz trial is Germany’s first major attempt to confront the country’s past, but the way the media portrayed the events of the trial to the public, separated the public from their contribution to the Nazi past.

	People in Auschwitz, by Hermann Langbein. Foreword. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		In early May 1940, Auschwitz was officially designated a German concentration camp, and SS Captain Rudolf Höss, who had served on the SS staff at Dachau and Sachsenhausen, was appointed commandant.
		Although the SS in Auschwitz would eventually copy the euthanasia method of mass killing—with gas chambers, crematoria, and the stripping of gold teeth from corpses—it used hydrogen cyanide, known by the trade name Zyklon B, rather than carbon monoxide.
		Langbein was transferred to Auschwitz because of the need there for extra personnel to assist in the battle against epidemics; he was assigned to the inmate infirmary in the main camp as a nurse.

		Auschwitz was established in 1940 in the suburbs of Oswiecim, a Polish city occupied by the Germans during World War II.
		Auschwitz was the biggest of the Nazi death camps: More than two million people, about the population of Chicago, were murdered there by the Nazis.
		The author points out that the Auschwitz trial was not an ordinary proceeding because the defendants were not ordinary criminals and the witnesses had not experienced ordinary events at Auschwitz.

		Wittmann's study of the Frankfurt Auschwitz trial is an excellent contribution both to our knowledge of this important trial and to our understanding of how the legal process shapes historical memory.
		Her argument that the trial failed to do justice to the complex history of Auschwitz specifically, and the Holocaust generally, is persuasively developed and forcefully defended.
		The trial was unprecedented, not least for the scale of the alleged crimes.

	The Belsen Trial - The trail of Commandant Josef Kramer and 44 others
		The trial was eagerly followed by the press and the defendant who attracted the most attention was the notorious 21-year-old Irma Grese, who was accused of participating in selections for the gas chamber at Birkenau, the Auschwitz II death camp.
		The allegation of Kopper in her affidavit was that she was in charge of the punishment Kommando in Auschwitz from 1942 to 1944, but in the box she said that the accused was in charge of the punishment company working outside the camp for seven months.
		According to the trial transcripts, Elizabeth Volkenrath testified under direct examination that she arrived at Auschwitz No. 1 in March, 1942, and was transferred to Birkenau in December, 1942, where she worked in the parcel office and bread store till September, 1944.

	Forty years since the Frankfurt Auschwitz trial Part one--a belated inquiry
		But it was perhaps precisely because the trial did not deal only with leading members of the SS, but with their underlings, that the case and the detailed media coverage that accompanied it provided West Germans with their first comprehensive picture of the seemingly banal daily routine of the ghastly extermination machinery at Auschwitz.
		The trial, which required witnesses to recall the terrible events with the precision that is required in a criminal prosecution, often put excessive demands on the survivors.
		The trial was scheduled to last 20 months and commenced in the Römer hall, at the time the only venue in Frankfurt capable of holding those involved in the proceedings.

		Auschwitz camp by far exceeded all hitherto known death camps in the refinement of its methods -- in technical organization, in the number of victims, and in the cruelty of the means with which the people were killed.
		Auschwitz camp contained gas chambers and crematoria, and surgical stations and laboratories, all aimed at the extermination of human beings.

		5,000,000 to 5,500,000 Cited in 1945 at the trial of Auschwitz commander Rudolf Hoess, based on his “confession” which was written in English, a language he never spoke.
		This number was inscribed on the monument at the Auschwitz camp at that time, thereby "replacing" the earlier 4,000,000 figure that had been formally repudiated (and withdrawn from the monument) five years earlier in 1990.
		The upper figure of 1,500,000 thus remains the "official" figure as now inscribed at Auschwitz, with the earlier figure of 4,000,000 having been removed from the memorial at the site of the former concentration camp.

		In 1963, West Germany was gripped by a dramatic trial of former guards who had worked at the Nazi death camp Auschwitz.
		Attorney General Fritz Bauer made an extraordinary effort to put the entire Auschwitz complex on trial, but constrained by West German murder laws, the prosecution had to resort to standards for illegal behavior that echoed the laws of the Third Reich.
		The Auschwitz trial ensured that rather than coming to terms with their Nazi past, Germans managed to delay a true reckoning with the horror of the Holocaust.

	FindLaw's Writ - Herrington: A Review of "The Case for Auschwitz: Evidence from the Irving Trial"
		As the Scopes monkey trial was to evolution, so was the David Irving libel trial to Auschwitz - or, more precisely, to what van Pelt aptly terms the "negationist" view.
		He sought to debunk the Holocaust through an effort to demonstrate that Auschwitz was "just another" concentration camp, and not a death camp at all.
		What made the Irving case, like the Scopes case before it, an epochal event, is that the trial reached not only the ultimate issues of the Holocaust, but yet more fundamental issues that confront both historians and lawyers every day.

	Judaism.com - The Case for Auschwitz Evidence from the Irving Trial By: Robert van Pelt (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		In this absorbing account of the much publicized David Irving vs. Deborah Lipstadt libel trial, an expert witness analyzes the historical evidence for the gas chambers at Auschwitz and refutes Holocaust deniers' claims that they didn't exist.
		In connection with their defense, Penguin and Lipstadt engaged architectural historian Robert Jan van Pelt to prepare for the court an expert report presenting the evidence for our knowledge that Auschwitz had been an extermination camp where up to one million Jews were killed, mainly in gas chambers.
		Unique in its comprehensive assessment of the historical evidence for Auschwitz and devastating in its demolition of the arguments of Holocaust deniers against Auschwitz, van Pelt's book is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of the Holocaust and for those who seek to combat Holocaust denial.
