One of the deadliest phases of the Holocaust, the Nazi regime's "Operation Reinhard" produced three major death camps-Belzec, Treblinka, and Sobibor- which claimed the life of 1.8 million Jews. In the 1960s, a small measure of justice came for those victims when a score of defendants who had been officers and guards at the camps were convicted of war crimes in West German courts. In this meticulous history of the Operation Reinhard trials, Bryant examines a disturbing question: Did compromised jurists engineer acquittals or lenient punishment for proven killers?
