2 The Harvard Annual Legal Bibliography, published from 1961 to 1981, did include articles in Festschriften. Some can still be located through the Index to Foreign Legal Periodicals or Szladits, C., Bibliography on Foreign and Comparative Law , 1972-77.Google Scholar For a full index of Festschriften published in Germany, Switzerland and Austria and of the contributions to them, together with an explanatory preface in English, see the four volumes by Helmut Dau entitled Bibliography of Legal Festschriften: Titles and Contents, the latest of which covers the years 1975-1979.

4 See, for example, the brief references to National Socialism in F. Schlegelberger et al., Aktiengesetz v, 236 (3d ed. 1939). See the thoughtful analysis of Schlegelberger’s “hesitant injustices” and “tragic character” in United States v. Altstoetter, 3 Trials of War Criminals Before The Nuernberg Military Tribunals 1086-87 (1951) (relating to activity in Ministry of Justice).

5 For one interesting self-justifying technique—reprinting a Nazi criticism of one’s earlier work, largely for citing Jewish authorities—see 3 F. Berber, Lehrbuch Des Völkerrechts X (2d ed. 1977). Berber’s relation to the Nazification of the Institute for Foreign Policy, where before 1933 my father worked, is described in detail in Kolonialrechtswissenschaft, Kriegsursachenforschung, Internationale Angelegenheiten (K.J. Gantzel ed. 1983).
