The Zekelman Holocaust Center | The Prosecutor: One Man’s Battle to Bring Nazis to Justice

At the end of the Nuremberg trial in 1946, some of the greatest war criminals in history were sentenced to death, but hundreds of thousands of Nazi murderers and collaborators remained at large. The Allies were ready to overlook their pasts as the Cold War began, and the horrors of the Holocaust were in danger of being forgotten.

In The Prosecutor, Jack Fairweather brings to life the remarkable true story of Fritz Bauer, a gay, Jewish judge from Stuttgart who returned to Germany after World War II to prosecute war crimes, only to find himself pitted against a nation determined to bury the past. In honor of the release of his new book, The Prosecutor, join author Jack Fairweather as he speaks about Fritz’s fight for justice in a virtual program followed by a Q&A.

Jack Fairweather is the author of the Costa Book Award winner The Volunteer, a #1 bestseller in the UK that’s been hailed as a modern classic and compared to Schindler’s List. He served as a correspondent for The Washington Post and The Daily Telegraph, where he was the paper’s Baghdad and Persian Gulf bureau chief.
