In this course, Angela will look at ethical issues arising from the Holocaust, focusing on the legal trials conducted afterwards.
This will include the group trials in Belsen and Nuremberg, the individual trials of perpetrators such as Rudolph Hoess and Adolf Eichman, cases against collaborators, and the huge challenge of Holocaust denial.
Angela will also examine the moral questions around the emotional, institutional and financial resources required for ‘Nazi hunting’, the deliberate destruction of evidence, and the question of trying people for actions that were not unlawful where and when they were committed.
