At the end of the Nuremberg trial in 1946, a few of history’s most notorious war criminals were sentenced to death, but hundreds of thousands of Nazi murderers and collaborators remained at large. Fritz Bauer, a gay, Jewish judge from Stuttgart, Germany, survived the Nazis and made it his mission to force his countrymen to confront their complicity in the genocide of Europe’s Jews. His journey led him to the trail of Adolf Eichmann, a chief architect of the Holocaust, and to clashes with his own government as well as a hidden network of ex-Nazis and spies determined to silence him.
Journalist and bestselling author Jack Fairweather joins us to bring Bauer’s story to life through The Prosecutor, his recent book which draws on unpublished family papers, newly declassified German records, and exclusive interviews to immerse readers in the shadowy, unfamiliar world of a nation emerging from the ruins of fascism, and illustrate one man's courage in compelling his people, and the world, to face the truth.
About the Speaker
Jack Fairweather is the author of The Prosecutor. Previous books include The Volunteer, the bestselling account of a Polish underground officer who volunteered to report on Nazi crimes in Auschwitz. He has served as the Daily Telegraph’s Baghdad bureau chief, and as a video journalist for the Washington Post in Afghanistan.

Description:
Learn how German Jews created spaces of dignity, connection, and hope in the face of terror, prosecution, and prejudice in the 1930s.
Featured speaker: Jordanna Gessler serves as Chief Impact Officer at Holocaust Museum LA and is the granddaughter of Holocaust survivors.
Throughout the 1930s, German Jews were caught in a cycle of relentless terror created by the Gestapo and targeted laws designed to strip away their dignity. As they desperately sought escape and refuge, most countries made immigration exceedingly difficult. Neighbors who were once friends now ostracized them. Their children were pushed to the back of classrooms, they were banned from park benches, and they lost their jobs. Amid constant persecution and prejudice, Jews fought to carve out small crevices where their humanity and identity could survive. They formed creative support networks, shared information, and leaned on community resilience. In these acts, we see the ingenuity and courage with which Jews created spaces of dignity, connection, and hope.
