Biographies of Judicial Convicts Imprisoned and Executed During National Socialism

Seventeen biographies exemplify the different ways judicial convicts from Belgium, the Netherlands, and Norway were treated in the post-war period. Did they or their families receive welfare benefits, compensation, or other recognition? How do the imprisonment and societal treatment affect subsequent generations to this day? The selected biographies provide insight into these questions. The project team conducted research in Belgian, Dutch, Norwegian and German archives and conducted life history interviews with relatives. Excerpts from these interviews are included in eight of the selected biographies.
