| Summary: | Not surprisingly, the so-called legal turn in Holocaust studies coincided with the fiftieth anniversary of the landmark International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg (IMT), which itself marked the beginning of transitional justice: the use of international and national law, as well as specific cultural practices, to rehabilitate and transform violent societies after sustained conflict. Since this anniversary, a myriad of books have appeared, so many in fact that legal scholarship on war crimes trials, genocide, gross human rights violations, and crimes against humanity has become a sub-genre of Holocaust and genocide studies. |
