| Summary: | In the 1980s, the fate of the Jews in Belgium during the Holocaust was extensively chronicled and analyzed in Maxime Steinberg's multi-volume work L'Étoile et le fusil. Many of the questions raised by that work were revisited in the collection Belgium and the Holocaust: Jews, Belgians, Germans, edited by Dan Michman and published in 1998. In The Fragility of Law, historian David Fraser charts new territory by delving into the behavior of the Belgian legal profession during the German occupation of 1940–1944 and immediately after. The result is a detailed examination of the Belgian legal system and its complicity in the introduction and execution of antisemitic legislation. |
