Using original decrees, court decisions and first-hand recollections of participants, this work documents how the German legal system transformed itself into a criminal organisation. It demonstrates how the legal system shaped everyday life and how the business community benefited from the Holocaust. The text places an emphasis on Germany in the 1930s, before World War II. Such emphasis demonstrates that a Holocaust can happen in any country sharing the heritage of Western civilisation and warns of the inevitable outcome once ordinary people are targeted in a process of destruction. Death camps are the most enduring image of the Holocaust, but they were only the final expression of a destruction process that began in 1933. In that year the Nazi regime mobilised members of an entire society to destroy their neighbours. Lawmakers, judges, attourneys and the rest of the legal system played a crucial role in reassuring good Germans that a war on the Jews was legitimate.
