Justiz im Nationalsozialismus: Über Verbrechen im Namen des Deutschen Volkes

In the organizer's words:

From January 26 to March 27, 2026, the ROTER OCHSE Memorial in Halle (Saale) will host the special exhibition "Justice under National Socialism: Crimes in the Name of the German People. Saxony-Anhalt" can be seen.

The National Socialist state destroyed the civil liberties enshrined in the Weimar Constitution. The law became an instrument of persecution and extermination. A large majority of lawyers actively participated in enforcing the Nazi regime's exclusive claim to power and severely punished any resistance or deviant behavior. High prison sentences and thousands of executed death sentences are proof of this. Dealing with the fate of people who were caught up in the wheels of such a justice system and subjected to extermination also underlines the importance of the rule of law and the preservation of human rights as the basis of all democratic coexistence.

The Saxony-Anhalt Memorials Foundation, together with the Saxony-Anhalt Ministry of Justice and Consumer Protection, the State Center for Political Education and other partners, has spent several years developing an exhibition that shows all the main courts responsible for the territory of present-day Saxony-Anhalt during the Nazi dictatorship and, above all, documents individual lives.
