The book looks at how, after assuming power in 1933, the Nazi Party manipulated the legal system and the constitution in its crusade against Communists, Jews, homosexuals, as well as Jehovah's Witnesses and other religious and racial minorities, resulting in World War II and the Holocaust. It then goes on to analyse how the law was subsequently used by the opponents of Nazism in the wake of World War Two to punish them in the war crime trials at Nuremberg. This is a valuable edited collection of interest to all scholars and students interested in Nazi Germany and the Holocaust."-- Provided by publisher "An exploration of how the Nazis harnessed and exploited the law to impose their will and how the law ultimately prevailed in the form of the Nuremberg war crime trials"-- Provided by publisher Notes Print version record Subject Justice, Administration of -- Germany -- History -- 1933-1945 Jews -- Legal status, laws, etc. -- Germany -- History -- 1933-1945 Minorities -- Legal status, laws, etc. -- Germany -- History -- 1933-1945 Race discrimination -- Law and legislation -- Germany -- History -- 1933-1945 World War, 1939-1945 -- Atrocities.
