In the aftermath of World War II, Jewish communities in particular faced the difficult task of confronting collaborators among their own ranks. European Jews established their own tribunals - honour courts - for dealing with these crimes. Laura Jockusch and Gabriel N. Finder bring together scholars of Jewish social, cultural, political, and legal history to examine this little-studied and fascinating postwar chapter of Jewish history.
