Mr. Book just finished The Prosecutor: One Man’s Battle To Bring Nazis To Justice, by Jack Fairweather.

This is a biography of Fritz Bauer, who was a Jewish judge who was arrested by the Nazis in 1933 as an enemy of the state, for his political opposition to them, and sent to a concentration camp (prior to them being used as death camps). He was eventually released after six months, but his legal career appeared to be over. Even after being released from the prison camp, he was still in constant legal peril, not only because of his religion, but due to their harsh laws against homosexuals. Eventually, after close calls, he was able to safely flee from the Nazis.

Bauer eventually returned to Germany after the war and, as a prosecutor, went after Nazis. He was involved in bringing Eichmann to justice.

I give this book an A.

Goodreads and NetGalley require grades on a 1-5 star system. In my personal conversion system, an A equates to 5 stars. (A or A+: 5 stars, B+: 4 stars, B: 3 stars, C: 2 stars, D or F: 1 star).
