Next to the trial judgments, the Justiz und
NS-Verbrechen collection contains a vast amount of press reports and
articles on the trial cases themselves. These reports and comments,
collected on behalf of the JuNSV-project roughly during the years
1963-2005, address various aspects and phases of the criminal
prosecution procedures relating to the Nazi trials. Thus, they
generally provide information on the pre-trial history of the
various cases (arrest of the accused, preliminary criminal
investigation, indictment), on the course of the main proceedings,
and often also on the execution of the sentence (pardon arrangements
or early release for other reasons, etc.). In short, they shed light
on issues that are generally not mentioned in the trial judgments
themselves.
All in all, the JuNSV collection consists of some
55.000 of such press reports, dealing with 379 criminal cases
against 803 defendants. In many instances there exist only a few
articles since the press coverage of these cases was minimal. But
with respect to the Auschwitz- and Majdanek-trials, for example, the
number of press reports runs into the thousands.
The entire collection of these press reports is
now kept in the Justiz und NS-Verbrechen depository with the
Gedenkstätte Deutscher Widerstand (GDW) in Berlin, where it is
available for research purposes (appointment by
e-mail required).
