Review Quotes: An excellent and genuinely novel collection. In exploring the role that Jewish honor courts played in bringing collaborators of the Holocaust to justice, the essays in this path-breaking book illuminate a fascinating and neglected subject. Will be of vital interest to students of the Holocaust and to all persons concerned with the vexed issue of bringing persons implicated in atrocities to account. - Lawrence Douglas, James J. Grosfeld Professor of Law, Jurisprudence, and Social Thought at Amherst College and author of The Memory of Judgment and The Vices
