This volume examines the depiction of the Holocaust and the Nazi era by means of German and Israeli newspapers reporting about four Nazi trials. The study consists of a comprehensive and systematic quantitative content analysis of the press coverage of four trials that were held in Germany and in Israel over the course of 43 years, from 1945 to 1988. The main focus of the study is on how the Holocaust was depicted in newspapers in the two countries as they reported on each of the trials. Even though the present study was conducted more than 50 years after the end of World War II, it provides a broad overview of an entire epoch in which Nazi war crime trials were conducted.
