How an honest prosecutor in the early ’30s slowed down the Nazi machine:
Hitler’s First Victims exposes the chaos and fragility of the Nazis’ early grip on power and dramatically suggests how different history could have been had other Germans followed Hartinger’s example of personal courage in that time of collective human failure.
Execution of four Jews in Dachau, when it was a detention center for political prisoners, in 1933 led to evidence-gathering that led to Nuremburg in the mid-’50s.
It’s the story of a man of honor who did what he could at a time of crucial change.
