Professor Hilary Earl is the author of  The Nuremberg SS Einsatzgruppen Trial, 1945-1958, Atrocity, Law,  and History, published by Cambridge University Press.  She will discuss her historical examination of the arrest, trial, and punishment of the leaders of the SS-Einsatzgruppen - the mobile security and killing units employed by the Nazis in their racial war on the eastern front, responsible for the murder of one million Soviet citizens in 1941. In addition to describing the legal proceedings, Earl will also discuss such contested issues as the timing and genesis of the Final Solution, the perpetrators' route to crime and their motivation for killing, as well as examining the tensions between law and history.
