[The Natzweiler Trial] Trial of Wolfgang Zeuss, Magnus Wochner, Emil Meier, Peter Straub, Fritz Hartjenstein, Franz Berg, Werner Rohde, Emil Bruttel, Kurt Aus Dem Bruch and Harberg

London: William Hodge and Company, Limited. Good. 1949. First Edition. Hardcover. "The record of this trial, which follows, is the verbatim, official record. Much of it is a translation from German, and it has only been edited where necessary to make the meaning clear: it pretends to no literary elegance. It is hoped that in this way it reflects better the atmosphere of the trial and the extempore speeches and questions and answers." - Preface. "This [report] is being published not to encourage a morbid interest, nor to keep alive feelings of ill-will against our late enemies. But because the horror through which the world passed in those dark years [of WWII] was not just a nightmare which cannot recur, but is something against which the collective conscience and alert vigilance of mankind, asserting the rule of law in international affairs as in municipal ones, must protect us. The Natzweiler [concentration camp] record is terrible." - Foreword. Wikipedia reports that the Natzweiler-Struthof Nazi concentration camp, located on territory annexed from France in 1940, held 52,000 prisoners between 1941 and 1944, approximately 22,000 of whom are estimated to have died at the camp and its sub-camps. The prisoners were mainly from resistance movements in German-occupied territories. 233 pages. Index. Black and white photographic plates. Clean and unmarked with moderate wear to original red cloth lettered in gilt upon spine. Binding intact. No dust jacket, presumably as issued. A sound vintage copy of this important record.
