| Résumé: | On the Traces of a Mass Extermination CenterThere are very few historical traces left for historians studying the Belzec mass extermination center – Operation Reinhardt’s first death camp.Researchers today are able to partly reconstruct the history of this extermination center, mainly thanks to preliminary judiciary inquests carried out by prosecutor Dietrich Zeug in Zentrale Stelle, Ludwigsburg. While searching for survivors, witnesses and perpetrators from Belzec, Zeug stresses the importance that lies in cooperation between the judiciary investigating genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity carried out during the Third Reich and historians specializing in the Second World War. The work carried out by this West German judge also revealed the inadequacy of national law when confronted by universal crimes of this kind, in respect to which legal processes should not be held back by principles such as statutes of limitation. |
