Fritz Bauer was the attorney general who brought Eichmann, Auschwitz, theWehrmacht crimes, the Nazi judiciary, and Nazi physicians to justice. As a result, he faced hostility and death threats throughout his life. A survivor of the Nazis’ concentration camps and prisons himself, Bauer fought for the prisoners and the weakest members of society. The right and duty to resist, a reformof criminal law, and a humane prison system were his main causes. “We should be our brother’s keeper,” the jurist insisted. “In my eyes, that is the goal of a democratic, social, and humane legal system. That is the charity religions speak of.” Fritz Bauer was a champion of the survivors in Germany after the Second WorldWar and the Holocaust. “He was the greatest ambassador the Federal Republic of Germany ever had.” – Robert M.
