Michael Marrus's _The Nuremberg War Crimes Trials, 1945-46: A Documentary History_ provides students of the Second World War and international law with a fascinating documentary account of the most infamous war crimes trial of the twentieth century.
Marrus uses illustrative, well-chosen primary source documents to depict the thorny issues which hampered the trial from the beginning, namely how the trial would proceed, the difficulty in deciding on the charges to be leveled against the defendants, who the defendants would be, who would prosecute the defendants and who would judge the proceedings.
Marrus presents the reader with some of the key documentary evidence used by the prosecutors during the course of the trial, including the opening and closing arguments of the prosecution, excerpts of the testimony of the defendants, key witness testimonies, and the last words of the defendants.

 University of Toronto -- News@UofT -- Back to school: Marrus enrols as student (September 01, 2004)
Marrus has also been a fellow of the Institute for Advanced Studies of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and has been a visiting professor at the University of Oxford, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the University of Cape Town, South Africa.
Marrus sought to continue and enhance the vision of the Laskin report of the 1960s, highlighting a unitary graduate school and the establishment of standards of excellence in graduate programs and education across the university.
Through the program, Marrus says, they sought to bring into the university community students and faculty who were refugees and unable to return to their countries of origin because of their well-founded fear of oppression and persecution.

Marrus, a specialist in the Holocaust whose books include The Holocaust in History and Vichy France and the Jews, is dean of the U of T's School of Graduate Studies.
Marrus dismissed a comment by Lord Janner, a Jewish community official in Britain, that the historians' panel was, in effect, a waste of time because the Vatican had no intention of revealing "anything of value."
However, Marrus states, Vatican representatives in Bucharest and Budapest, Andreia Cassulo and Angelo Rotta, intervened with the Romanian and Hungarian governments on behalf of persecuted Jews.

Marrus shows not only the astounding dimensions of the subject but also depicts the shocking apathy and antipathy of the international community toward the homeless.
Michael Marrus's impressive study implicitly challenges this wide-ranging epistemology of human misery and destruction by making not the millions of killed but rather an even greater mass of refugees the subject of his meticulous study.

Marrus begins with historical precedents from World War I and beyond and ends with extracts from the final judgments and assessments of the trial written years later.
Marrus points out that although the trial was one of the most critical events in the twentieth century, it was also flawed in its execution and rife with political bias.
In providing background to the Nuremberg trial, Marrus reminds us of the historical process by which the Nazis began to be recognized as real criminals.

But the event itself remains indelible, leaving a mark on the language of history, like that of Marrus and others, and on the language of testimony and of fiction written by those who, unlike the Russian survivor, were not there on the spot.
Historians, like Marrus, who were not there are nonetheless able to "remember" the details of events that seem lost even to the individual who experienced it.
But the urgency in the interjection—and Marrus' equally insistent focus on the timetable of the Reichsbahn—registers an element of history that is unavailable to knowledge.

An interfaith historians' commission charged with studying the role of the Vatican during the Holocaust has run its course, says Michael Marrus, one of its six members.
Marrus is pleased by the support the panel received from "many, many quarters," including Catholic circles.

Lastly, Marrus referred to the appeals of Archbishop Konrad von Preysing of Berlin, whom Pius XII later made a cardinal, and deplored that the Church did not make public appeals against Nazism in those years.

I have used Marrus in the classroom for the past five years and find it perhaps the best introduction available to the historical debates surrounding the Holocaust.
Marrus is also very good at describing the Holocaust itself - how it reached a fervor in 1942 (when more than half of all Jews were killed) and how only half of the 6 million were killed in camps.
He dismisses the view popularized by Hannah Arendt that the Jews acted like sheep led to the slaughter: he convincingly shows that the Jews were in total disbelief about the Holocaust and did resist when they actually knew what was going on.
