He was the greatest ambassador the Federal Republic of Germany ever had."Robert M. W. KempnerFritz Bauer was the attorney general who brought Eichmann, Auschwitz, the Wehrmacht crimes, the Nazi judiciary, and Nazi physicians to justice. As a result, he faced hostility and death threats throughout his life. A survivor of the Nazis¿ concentration camps and prisons himself, Bauer fought for the prisoners and the weakest members of society. The right and duty to resist, a reform of criminal law, and a humane prison system were his main causes. "We should be our brother¿s keeper, " the jurist insisted. "In my eyes, that is the goal of a democratic, social, and humane legal system. That is the charity religions speak of." Fritz Bauer was a champion of the survivors in Germany after the Second World War and the Holocaust.
