Status and perspectives
The societal debate about Nazi crimes and their historical research in Germany essentially only began with the trial of Adolf Eichmann in Jerusalem in 1960/61 and the Frankfurt Auschwitz Trial of members of the SS camp staff beginning in 1963.

While previously a few individuals such as Hitler, Himmler, and Heydrich were classified as "perpetrators," the assessment of who should be considered a "perpetrator" now changed. With the question of how "normal" men and women could become perpetrators, everyday life and social history increasingly came into focus. The focus on a "perpetrator society" shifts the perspective to politics and society.
The panel discussion will examine the current state of research on Nazi perpetrators from a historical and social-psychological perspective. The discussion will also examine the prospects for perpetrator research in general.
