The public debate it sparked on where  how  and by whom Nazi war criminals should be brought to justice  and the international media coverage of the trial itself  was a watershed moment in how the civilized world in general and Holocaust survivors in particular found the means to deal with the legacy of genocide on a scale that had never been seen before.  Award-winning historian Deborah E. Lipstadt gives us an overview of the trial and analyzes the dramatic effect that the survivors courtroom testimonywhich was itself not without controversyhad on a world that had until then regularly commemorated the Holocaust but never fully understood what the millions who died and the hundreds of thousands who managed to survive had actually experienced.  As the world continues to confront the ongoing reality of genocide and ponder the fate of those who survive it  this trial of the century  which has become a touchstone for judicial proceedings throughout the world  offers a legal  moral  and political framework for coming to terms with unfathomable evil. Lipstadt infuses a gripping narrative with historical perspective and contemporary urgency.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44983957061685,"sku":"ByrdShop_0805242600","price":21.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780805242607.jpg?v=1770815829","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-eichmann-trial-jewish-encounters-series","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
