The Scourge of the Swastika

Modern history have emphasized on the Holocaust while examining German war crimes during World War II. While the Final Solution was a once-in-a-lifetime catastrophe, German crimes did not stop there. Throughout occupied Europe, the Nazis harassed their own population, tortured and killed POWs, and carried out many executions. Lord Russell of Liverpool was a member of the legal team that prosecuted Nazi war criminals, and he wrote the dramatic, best-selling The Scourge of the Swastika in 1954 based on his own experience. Liverpool demonstrates that the Third Reichs acts, especially the Holocaust, were not just unethical but also unlawful.
