Beginning with the influences of Schiller’s humanist ideals on Hessian Attorney General Fritz Bauer’s expectations of the Frankfurt Auschwitz Trial as a legal working through of the past, this article compares the Holocaust narrative created by the West German criminal trial to Peter Weiss’s reworking of the transcripts, The Investigation.
