The Holocaust and the Law: a Model of 'Good History'? THE HOLOCAUST AND THE LAW: A MODEL OF ‘GOOD HISTORY’? LYNNE HUMPHREY ROYAL HOLLOWAY, UNIVERSITY OF LONDON PhD 1 Acknowledgments I would like to formally thank Professor Dan Stone for his unwavering support, as well as patience, throughout the duration of the thesis. I would also like to thank the administration staff of both the former German department (Ann Hobbs) and the current History department for helping to facilitate the many stages of its progression. I would especially like to thank Marie-Christine Ockenden for her compassion and understanding when needing to interrupt my studies. I am grateful to the Friendly Hands Charitable Foundation. The grant awarded by this charity was essential for the research of the Ernst Zündel trials in Toronto, Canada. I am also grateful to Renu Barrett, at the ‘William Ready Division of Archives and Research Collections’ (McMasters University), Janice Rosen, at the ‘Canadian Jewish Congress Charities Commission National Archives’ (Montreal), and A.J Strauss, at the Ontario Court of Appeal, for organising access to the relevant trial transcripts, and other primary source material, on my behalf, but also for being a source of friendly contact during my visits. On a more personal note, I would not have completed the thesis without the consistent encouragement, input and practical support of close family and friends. Although inadequate as recognition of this support, a huge thank you is due to my brothers, Stephen and Nigel, and the friendships of Meeta, Cheryl, Su, Maureen, Joanne, Shamshad, Alison, Paul, Ann, Fergus and Nuala. Inspiration was also sustained by the coastline of North Shields, the country lanes of Thurgarton and the cities of Berlin, Manchester and Toronto. The thesis posed many challenges, but my only regret is that my parents, Elizabeth and Thomas Stephenson Humphrey, are not alive to see its completion. 2 Declaration of Authorship I, Lynne Humphrey, hereby declare that this thesis, and the work presented in it, is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. 3 Abstract This thesis examines the ability of Anglo-American law to function as a method of historiography in Holocaust-related trials. It is informed by 'empiricist-analytical' (Evans) and 'narrative-linguistic' (White) genres of 'good history' and a 'consensus of critique' (Bilsky, Wilson) that explicitly identifies the history-law relationship as a flawed methodology. Applying theory to practice the thesis focuses its research on the collaborative reconstruction of specific historiographies integral to the Holocaust across the Adolf Eichmann (1961), Ernst Zündel (1985, 1988) and David Irving (2000) trials. More specifically, in response to competing demands of 'good history', the thesis identifies how historians and jurists translated the relevant traces of the past into 'credible and intelligible' accounts of (empiricist) or 'convincing representations' as (narrativist) the Holocaust regardless of the extra-historical form of legal case and context. The historiographies foregrounded are the evolution of extermination policy, the mass shootings of the Einsatzgruppen 1941 - 1942, homicidal gas chambers at Auschwitz- Birkenau, and the total number of Jewish victims. Through comparative analysis the thesis finds that the accounts/representations subsequently authorised may have been 'cooked' (Wilson) in accordance with case- specific remits but they were empirically accountable and 'truth-full' in content (McCullagh, Munslow). With few exceptions, they were also compatible across all four courtrooms and consistent with the findings of established Holocaust scholarship both past and present. In complying with the generic demands of both empiricist and narrativist theories the thesis confirms that the history-law relationship can be a model of 'good history'. However, although the stability of accounts/representations indicates the constraint of the past traces, and therefore a 'matching' function with the past (empiricist), the research confirms the primacy of its 'making' function (narrativist) as the past. The thesis concludes that the methodology and outputs of the history-law relationship are most appropriately explained through the lens of the 'narrative-linguistic' genre. 4 Contents Introduction and Methodology .......................................................................................... 6 Legal Contexts ............................................................................................................ 10 Primary Source Material ............................................................................................. 22 Chapter Plan ................................................................................................................ 27 Chapter One.

But, informed by the cultural and linguistic 'turns', the challenge to history has been identified as much wider and more thoroughgoing than its predecessors, making the 'point again in new and urgent ways’ and strengthening 'the hand of the sceptics'.4 Established critiques of the truthful foundations of Rankean scholarship have subsequently been reaffirmed by voices that emphasise the fictive, 'netted' and present-centric nature of its specific form of 'historying'.5 Most critically, in contrast to the persistent 'presence' of the past defining and privileging this scholarship, these voices insist that 'the past' is not only ontologically distinct, and therefore inaccessible, but inevitably preconceived and prefigured ‘as a story of a particular kind’, as well as 'linguistically-turned' into familiar plot-lines that ‘float free’ of its remaining 1 The concept of genre' is understood as the conventions and rules of thinking and practice relating to each discipline, Robert Eaglestone, The Holocaust and the Postmodern (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2004), p6. Reference to 'history' relates to the academic discipline and its scholarship. 2 For the purposes of the thesis ‘good history’ refers to its academic form and relates to claims made during both the ‘postmodern challenge’ and the trial instigated by David Irving in 2000 that there can be ‘bad’ histories if not following the conventions and rules of academic scholarship, in other words, the conventions and rules of the ‘empiricist-analytical’ genre. 3 Alun Munslow, 'On “Presence” and conversing with the past: do historians communicate with the past?', Rethinking History, 18:4 (2014), p570.

  • From Humiliation to Humanity Reconciling Helen Goldman’S Testimony with the Forensic Strictures of the Frankfurt Auschwitz Trial
    S: I. M. O. N. Vol. 8|2021|No.1 SHOAH: INTERVENTION. METHODS. DOCUMENTATION. Andrew Clark Wisely From Humiliation to Humanity Reconciling Helen Goldman’s Testimony with the Forensic Strictures of the Frankfurt Auschwitz Trial Abstract On 3 September 1964, during the Frankfurt Auschwitz trial, Helen Goldman accused SS camp doctor Franz Lucas of selecting her mother and siblings for the gas chamber when the family arrived at Birkenau in May 1944. Although she could identify Lucas, the court con- sidered her information under cross-examination too inconsistent to build a case against Lucas. To appreciate Goldman’s authority, we must remove her from the humiliation of the West German legal gaze and inquire instead how she is seen through the lens of witness hospitality (directly by Emmi Bonhoeffer) and psychiatric assessment (indirectly by Dr Walter von Baeyer). The appearance of Auschwitz survivor Helen (Kaufman) Goldman in the court- room of the Frankfurt Auschwitz trial on 3 September 1964 was hard to forget for all onlookers. Goldman accused the former SS camp doctor Dr Franz Lucas of se- lecting her mother and younger siblings for the gas chamber on the day the family arrived at Birkenau in May 1944.1 Lucas, considered the best behaved of the twenty defendants during the twenty-month-long trial, claimed not to recognise his accus- er, who after identifying him from a line-up became increasingly distraught under cross-examination. Ultimately, the court rejected Goldman’s accusations, choosing instead to believe survivors of Ravensbrück who recounted that Lucas had helped them survive the final months of the war.2 Goldman’s breakdown of credibility echoed the experience of many prosecution witnesses in West German postwar tri- als after 1949.

  • Brigitte Bailer-Galanda “Revisionism”1 in Germany and Austria: the Evolution of a Doctrine
    www.doew.at Brigitte Bailer-Galanda “Revisionism”1 in Germany and Austria: The Evolution of a Doctrine Published in: Hermann Kurthen/Rainer Erb/Werner Bergmann (ed.), Anti-Sem- itism and Xenophobia in Germany after Unification, New York–Oxford 1997 Development of “revisionism” since 1945 Most people understand so called „revisionism“ as just another word for the movement of holocaust denial (Benz 1994; Lipstadt 1993; Shapiro 1990). Therefore it was suggested lately to use the word „negationism“ instead. How- ever in the author‘s point of view „revisionism“ covers some more topics than just the denying of the National Socialist mass murders. Especially in Germany and Austria there are some more points of National Socialist politics some people have tried to minimize or apologize since 1945, e. g. the responsibility for World War II, the attack on the Soviet Union in 1941 (quite a modern topic), (the discussion) about the number of the victims of the holocaust a. s. o.. In the seventies the late historian Martin Broszat already called that movement „run- ning amok against reality“ (Broszat 1976). These pseudo-historical writers, many of them just right wing extremist publishers or people who quite rapidly turned to right wing extremists, really try to prove that history has not taken place, just as if they were able to make events undone by denying them. A conception of “negationism” (Auerbach 1993a; Fromm and Kernbach 1994, p. 9; Landesamt für Verfassungsschutz 1994) or “holocaust denial” (Lipstadt 1993, p. 20) would neglect the additional components of “revision- ism”, which are logically connected with the denying of the holocaust, this being the extreme variant.

Holocaust revisionism has continued to be discussed both in the scholarly literature and in the mainstream press, especially owing to the libel lawsuit filed by David Irving against Deb- orah Lipstadt and Penguin Books. The Holocaust deniers, who prefer to call themselves “revi- sionists” in an attempt to gain scholarly legitimacy, have refused to go away and remain as vocal as ever— Bradley R. Smith has continued to send revisionist advertisements to college newspapers (including free issues of his new publication. The Revisionist), generating public- ity for his cause. Holocaust-denial, which will be used interchangeably with Holocaust revisionism in this bib- liography, is a body of literature that seeks to “prove” that the Jewish Holocaust did not hap- pen. Although individual revisionists may have different motives and beliefs, they all share at least one point: that there was no systematic attempt by Nazi Germany to exterminate Euro- pean Jewry.

These mass murders were allegedly perpetrated at the Sobibór “death” camp in east- ern Poland. According to mainstream historiography, 170,000 to 250,000 Jews were exterminated there in gas chambers between 1942 and 1943. The corpses were buried in mass graves and later incinerated on an open-air pyre. But do these serious claims really stand up to scrutiny? In Sobibor: Holocaust Propaganda and Reality, the official version of what transpired at Sobibór is put under the microscope. It is shown that the histori- ography of the camp is not based on solid evidence, but on the selective use of eyewitness testimonies, which in turn are riddled with contradictions and out- right absurdities. This book could exonerate John Demjanjuk. For more than half a century, mainstream Holocaust historians made no real attempts to muster material evidence for their claims about Sobibór. Finally, in the 21st century, professional historians carried out an archeological survey at the former camp site. Their findings—and the findings of many oth- ers—are here presented in detail and fatal implications for the extermination camp theory are revealed.

In The Bridge: A Yearbook of Judaeo-Christian Studies, Vol. 1, edited by John M. Oesterreicher and Barry Ulanov, 283-291. New York: Pantheon Books, 1955. SURVEYS William Keller LEDGER OF DEATH NO HISTORICAL theory has ever received a more crushing refutation than the nineteenth-century view of continual progress. The widely held pre-1914 conviction that "we are too civilized to fight" was shown to be a fallacy in World War I. But who, in the wildest flights of fancy, could have foretold that this century would see a new age of persecu­ tion and massacre, on a scale undreamed of in centuries past, and rely­ ing on all the latest techniques of modern "civilization"? Yet such have been the facts: a whole people, the Jews, were regarded by the distorted, worse-than-pagan nationalism of the Nazis as alien, un­ cooperative, inferior, indeed scarcely human, and were marked down for total liquidation. Demented as such a scheme sounds, it was actually put into operation, and in large part succeeded. To write the full story of this terrifying nadir in human history would require many volumes, volumes which one day may be written. Nevertheless it is essential for all of us even now to realize at least the actual extent of this persecution.
