It provides the history of the Holocaust as a legal event, and sets out how genocide has become known as the 'crime of crimes' under both international law and in popular discourse.

A great deal of contemporary law has a direct connection to the Holocaust. That connection, however, is seldom acknowledged in legal texts and has never been the subject of a full-length scholarly work. This book examines the background of the Holocaust and genocide through the prism of the law; the criminal and civil prosecution of the Nazis and their collaborators for Holocaust-era crimes; and contemporary attempts to criminally prosecute perpetrators for the crime of genocide. It provides the history of the Holocaust as a legal event, and sets out how genocide has become known as the "crime of crimes" under both international law and in popular discourse. It goes on to discuss specific post-Holocaust legal topics, and examines the Holocaust as a catalyst for post-Holocaust international justice. Together, this collection of subjects establishes a new legal discipline, which the author Michael Bazyler labels "Post-Holocaust Law."

The Nazis & their cohorts stole mercilessly from the Jews of Europe. In the aftermath of the Holocaust, returning survivors had to navigate unclear & hostile legal paths to recover their stolen property from governments & neighbours who often had been complicit. While the return of Nazi-looted art & recent legal settlements involving dormant Swiss bank accounts, unpaid insurance policies & use of slave labour by German companies have been well-publicized, efforts by Holocaust survivors & heirs over the last 70 years to recover stolen land & buildings were forgotten. In 2009, 47 countries convened in Prague to deal with the lingering problem of restitution of prewar private, communal, & heirless property stolen during the Holocaust. The outcome was the Terezin Declaration on Holocaust Era Assets & Related Issues, aiming to 'rectify the consequences' of the wrongful Nazi-era immovable property seizures.
