Rezension

"Konrad Morgen: Conscience of a Nazi Judge is the complex make-up of his rationale, all the grey areas of his humanity. People like Morgen do the right things for the wrong reasons, they hold essentially honourable principles which are nevertheless capable of being warped by the prevailing doctrines of their times." - The Jewish Chronicle


"Konrad Morgen: The Conscience of a Nazi Judge is a scrupulous and gripping account by two philosophers an Austrian and American of the confrontation of dilemmas of moral and legal philosophy by an actual person, a person not better or worse than any of us, in circumstances so unimaginably extreme that we may all hope never to have to encounter them. No hypotheticals concocted by clever academics to illustrate their ruminations on these abstractions could come close to the reality recounted here in meticulous detail, verified by unarguable documentation." - The New Rambler


"Through the words of Morgen himself, artfully intertwined with the two authors' analysis, we pick up on a character whose unswerving faith in justice led him to an untenable position that was revelaing of the utter uncompatibility of the Nazi principles and that which we cling on to in such cases: sheer humanity." - San Francisco Book Review
