<p>In the wake of the Second World War, how were the Allies to respond to the enormous crime of the Holocaust? Even in an ideal world, it would have been impossible to bring all the perpetrators to trial. Nevertheless, an attempt was made to prosecute some. Most people have heard of the Nuremberg trial and the Eichmann trial, though they probably have not heard of the Kharkov Trial—the first trial of Germans for Nazi-era crimes—or even the Dachau Trials, in which war criminals were prosecuted by the American military personnel on the former concentration camp grounds.</p><span>This book uncovers 10 
forgotten trials of the Holocaust, selected from the many Nazi trials 
that have taken place over the course of the last seven decades. It 
showcases how perpetrators of the Holocaust were dealt with in 
courtrooms around the world, revealing how different legal systems 
responded to the horrors of the Holocaust. The book provides a 
graphic picture of the genocidal campaign against the Jews, through 
eyewitness testimony and incriminating documents, and traces how the 
public memory of the Holocaust was formed over time. </span>
