Am 30. Juni 1981 endete der grosste Strafprozess der deutschen Rechtsgeschichte – das Majdanek-Verfahren in Dusseldorf. Das im Herbst 1941 auf dem Majdanek-Hugel sudlich von Lublin errichtete Konzentrationslager Lublin-Majdanek war das erste Konzentrationslager, das die Alliierten befreiten. Als am 23. Juli 1944 sowjetische und polnische Soldaten das Lagergelande betraten, fanden sie Beweise fur einen Massenmord von bis dahin unvorstellbarem Ausmass vor. Noch im August 1944 wurde eine Kommission zur Untersuchung nationalsozialistischer Verbrechen eingerichtet. Ebenfalls noch im August erliess die polnische Ubergangsregierung das erste Gesetz zur Ahndung von NS-Verbrechen. Der erste KZ-Prozess fand schliesslich von 27. November bis 2. Dezember 1944 vor dem Sonderstrafgericht Lublin statt. Ein in Graz vorbereiteter osterreichischer Majdanek-Prozess fand hingegen nicht statt. Nach fast zehnjahrigen Ermittlungen gegen 64 Tatverdachtige beantragte die Staatsanwaltschaft Graz im Oktober 1972 die Einstellung des Verfahrens. Erst im Jahr 2007 sah sich die osterreichische Justiz veranlasst, die Mittaterschaft osterreichischer Verdachtiger an Verbrechen in Majdanek zu untersuchen. Doch auch hier scheiterte eine Anklageerhebung am Tod der Beschuldigten Erna Wallisch. In dem anlasslich des 30. Jahrestags des Urteils im Dusseldorfer Majdanek-Prozess erschienenen Buch wird unter anderem der Frage nachgegangen, in welchem Ausmass Staatsanwaltschaften und Gerichte in Osterreich, Deutschland und Polen dazu beigetragen haben, die Verbrechen im KZ Lublin-Majdanek aufzuklaren.

As ten-year-old Pinchas is deported from the Warsaw ghetto to the killing site of Majdanek and then to a series of concentration camps, he shuts himself off to the terrors surrounding him and tries his best not to be noticed, to become almost invisible. But after liberation, his photographic memory won't let his past fade away, and Pinchas struggles to deal with nightmares and flashbacks while trying to raise a family and heal his emotional scars. Memories in Focus vividly retells Pinchas's painful journey, describing the separation from his parents and twin sister, his struggle to stay alive under the cruellest of circumstances and the luck and moments of kindness that enabled him to survive.

This book is an important work in Holocaust literature and was originally published in Poland in 1967. Covering the years 1939-1945, it is the author's account of her experience growing up in the Warsaw ghetto and her eventual deportation to, imprisonment in, and survival of the Majdanek, Auschwitz, Ravensbruck, and Neustadt-Glewe camps. Since the old, the weak, and children were summarily executed by the Nazis in these camps, Mrs Birenbaum's survival and coming of age is all the more remarkable. Her story is told with simplicity and clarity and the new edition contains revisions made by the author to the original English translation, and is expanded with a new epilogue and postscripts that bring the story up to date and complete the circle of Mrs Birenbaum's experiences.
