Abstract

This review explores Lawrence Douglas’s seminal scholarship on the trials of the Holocaust. Questioning the performative appropriations and significations of historical and cultural events in a juridical setting such as the institution of the trial, I examine the strengths and weaknesses of Douglas’s account of the legal moment of the trial as an instrument of didactic legality.
