The question of why he returned to Germany was answered by Fritz Bauer’s spectacular (Remer) trial in 1952. As a prosecutor, Bauer succeeded in getting the court to call the Nazi state an unjust state and to recognize that the resistance fighters had acted out of a sense of responsibility.
It is thanks to Fritz Bauer that the alternatives to Hitler, for which he himself chose to live “In the struggle for human rights,” cannot be forgotten. They were perceived by groups of the labor movement, the Confessing Church, individual members of the Catholic Church, the bureaucracy and the Wehrmacht. By those who helped the persecuted Jews, Sinti and Roma, the disabled and in general the persecuted, when this human assistance had been declared a crime.
The Fritz Bauer Forum is committed to the always and constantly current history of resistance against dictatorial violence, against nationalism, racism and anti-Semitism. As Article 1 of the Basic Law demands: “Human dignity is inviolable. It is the duty of all state authority to respect and protect it.”
