PD Dr. Julia Eichenberg, member of the Steering Committee of the Conflict, Crisis, and Change Research Center (C3) and member of the research network Conflicts.Meanings.Transitions, has published a new textbook as co-editor: “Deutsche Unrechtsgeschichte im 20. Jahrhundert. Ein Lehr- und Studienbuch zum nationalsozialistischen Unrecht und Unrecht der SED-Diktatur”, published by C.H.Beck (ISBN 978-3-406-83863-7).
The book responds to the reform of legal education, which under § 5a Abs. 2 DRiG (German Judiciary Act) now mandates that the teaching of National Socialist and socialist state injustice be a compulsory part of law studies. It is the first textbook covering this new required subject matter. Particular emphasis is therefore placed on the legal histories of National Socialism and the SED dictatorship and their embedding in the broader development of German law.
In terms of content, the work touches on several thematic areas that are also being explored at C3 and within this research network, which is why we are pleased to draw attention to this new publication here.
