Some Measure of Justice: The Holocaust Era Restitution Campaign of the 1990s
Langbeschreibung
Can there ever be justice for the Holocaust? During the 1990s--triggered by lawsuits in the United States against Swiss banks, German corporations, insurance companies, and owners of valuable works of art--claimants and their lawyers sought to rectify terrible wrongs committed more than a half century earlier. Some Measure of Justice explores this most recent wave of justice-seeking for the Holocaust: what it has been, why it emerged when it did, how it fits with earlier reparation to the Jewish people, its significance for the historical representation of the Holocaust, and its implications for justice-seeking in our time.
Michael R. Marrus is the Chancellor Rose and Ray Wolfe Professor Emeritus of Holocaust Studies at the University of Toronto and author, among other works, of The Holocaust in History, The Unwanted: European Refugees in the Twentieth Century, and The Nuremberg War Crimes Trial, 1945-46.
