     This website presents a systematic survey (in German) of
     1) the more than 900 Nazi trial cases conducted in West Germany since
     1945 (see: Ubersicht der westdeutschen Verfahren), as well as of
     2) the 97 Nazi trial cases conducted in East Germany during the years
     1956 - 1990, including the so-called Rehabilitation trials
     (see: Ubersicht der ostdeutschen Verfahren). A survey of the remaining
     East German trial cases (i.e. those from the period 1945
     - 1956) will be added to this site later this year.

     The site contains a brief description of the subject matter of each of
     these trial cases by way of several searchable categories.

     The index you find here is based on the collection of postwar trial
     judgments, which are (being) published in two separate
     multi-volume documentation series entitled 'Justiz und NS-Verbrechen'
     (the West German judgments) and 'DDR-Justiz und
     NS-Verbrechen' (the East German judgments).
