JUSTICE AT DACHAU(ISBN=9780767908795) 英文原版 下载 pdf 百度网盘 epub 免费 2025 电子版 mobi 在线

　　The world remembers Nuremberg, where a handful of Nazi

policymakers were brought to justice, but nearly forgotten are the

proceedings at Dachau, where hundreds of Nazi guards, officers, and

doctors stood trial for personally taking part in the torture and

execution of prisoners inside the Dachau, Mauthausen, Flossenburg,

and Buchenwald concentration camps. In Justice at Dachau,

M.

Greene, maker of the award winning documentary film Witness: Voices

from the Holocaust, recreates the Dachau trials and reveals the

dramatic story of William Denson, a soft-spoken young lawyer from

Alabama whisked from teaching law at West Point to leading the

prosecution in the largest series of Nazi trials in history.

In a makeshift courtroom set up inside Hitler’s first

concentration camp, Denson was charged with building a team from

lawyers who had no background in war crimes and determining charges

for crimes that courts had never before confronted. Among the

accused were Dr. Klaus Schilling, responsible for hundreds of

deaths in his “research” for a cure for malaria; Edwin

Katzen-Ellenbogen, a Harvard psychologist turned Gestapo informant;

and one of history’s most notorious female war criminals, Ilse

Koch, “Bitch of Buchenwald,” whose penchant for tattooed skins and

human bone lamps made headlines worldwide.

Denson, just thirty-two years old, with one criminal trial to his

name, led a brilliant and successful prosecution, but nearly two

years of exposure to such horrors took its toll. His wife divorced

him, his weight dropped to 116 pounds, and he collapsed from

exhaustion. Worst of all was the pressure from his army superiors

to bring the trials to a rapid end when their agenda shifted away

from punishing Nazis to winning the Germans’ support in the

emerging Cold War. Denson persevered, determined to create a

careful record of responsibility for the crimes of the Holocaust.

When, in a final shocking twist, the United States used clandestine

reversals and commutation of sentences to set free those found

guilty at Dachau, Denson risked his army career to try to prevent

justice from being undone.
