Abstract/Contents

Abstract: Rhetorical analysis of the Hoover Institution Library & Archives' Frederick L. Felton Letters, exploring how the American prosecutor describes "Germans" as a collective group during and at the Nuremberg Trials (1945-46). The set of letters, previously unexplored in formal scholarship, provides an eye-witness perspective into a critical moment in global legal history and illustrates the danger of contemporary anti-German stereotypes.
