  • 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.

    BOOK REVIEW: R. STEINKE, FRITZ BAUER. ODER AUSCHWITZ VOR GERICHT, PIPER VERLAG, 2013 Francesco Guerra [email protected] Ronen Steinke’s essay is characterised by the journalistic style the author chose for his work, which however is supported by a wide array of documents as evidence of his reading of Fritz Bauer’s life and work. The subtitle of the book is quite a different matter, though, as it sounds restrictive compared with the contents and in fact with the Attorney General himself. His work is not just about the Auschwitz-Prozess, even if that was the highlight and maybe also the beginning of a downward parabola in Bauer’s legal career, but there were also another two key events, as also perfectly recalled by Steinke’s book, such as his decisive cooperation with the Israeli secret service in finding Adolf Eichmann ‑ in order to have him tried in Israel, and not in Germany, where, due to the magistracy’s compromised position with the earlier regime, he would not have been fairly tried – and the Remer-Prozess which rehabilitated Claus Schenk von Stauffenberg and all those who had made an attempt on Hitler’s life on July 20th 1944. After a time spent in a concentration camp from which he managed to escape (92-98), Fritz Bauer first took shelter in Denmark in 1936 and then from there to Sweden in 1943, in Stockholm. Finally, after another four years in Denmark, in 1949 he was able to return to Germany, called to direct the Court of Braunschweig, where one year later he was appointed Attorney General of the Court of Appeal of the same city.
