Abstract

This article discusses the Nazi conception of justice based on how the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP) and the Supreme Party Court rendered justice to party members who violated the NSDAP's principles on racial purity during the so called Kristallnacht riot in Germany wherein Jewish shops, synagogues and Jews were targeted. It explains that Adolf Hitler himself ordered the investigation of NSDAP members when it was reported that some of them raped Jewish women. It says Hitler's view of justice is that which is aligned with the reason of the state.
