Arthur Greiser. Biografia i proces namiestnika III Rzeszy w Kraju Warty

Dieter Schenk, Witold Kulesza

Arthur Greiser - modelowy funkcjonariusz narodowosocjalistycznej partii, kierownik polityczny (gauleiter) tzw. Kraju Warty i namiestnik państwa (Reichsstatthalter) w części okupowanej Polski włączonej do Rzeszy. Jego kariera rozpoczęła się od wstąpienia do NSDAP - jak sam powiedział - dla "chleba i pracy". Przeszedł wszystkie szczeble awansu aż do kręgu zaufanych Hitlera, wykazując własną inicjatywę w realizacji zbrodniczego planu likwidacji wszystkiego, co świadczyło o polskości ziemi, którą miał zniemczyć. Autorzy książki szczegółowo omawiają etapy rozpoczętej w Gdańsku karier oraz kształtowanie się osobowości nazistowskiego władcy odpowiedzialnego za ludobójstwo dokonane na Polakach i Żydach. Przedstawiają dowody zbrodni oraz złożone zagadnienia historyczne i prawne. Proces Greisera był pierwszym, jaki został przeprowadzony przed Najwyższym Trybunałem Narodowym w 1946 roku. Prekursorko określono w nim zasady odpowiedzialności karnej ludobójcy, który własnoręcznie nikogo nie uśmiercił. Przed Trybunałem oskarżony nie przyznał się do winy i twierdził, że nie wiedział o zarzucanych mu zbrodniach, za dokonanie których - wywodził - odpowiedzialni byli tylko Hitler i Himmler. W uczciwym procesie ważną rolę odegrał prokurator - doktor Mieczysław Siewierski, profesor Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego. * Dieter Schenk urodził się14 marca 1937 roku We Frankfurcie nad Menem. Kryminolog, prawnik, publicysta, pisarz . Autor wielu książek na temat narodowego socjalizmu oraz dziewięciu utworów scenicznych. W Niemczech i w Polsce stał się znany jako kontynuator wątków badawczych i naukowych dotyczących zasad odpowiedzialności karnej za zbrodnie popełnione przez nazistów w Polsce w czasie li wojny światowej. Od 1989 roku jest autorem wykładów na temat historii narodowego socjalizmu na Uniwersytecie Łódzkim, a w roku 2017otrzymał na tym uniwersytecie tytuł doktora honoris causa. Za książkę o obronie Poczty Polskiej miasto Gdańsk nadało mu tytuł honorowego obywatela. Jako członek Amnesty International współtworzył grupę współpracy "Policja i tortury". Jest autorem niemieckiego i polskiego wydania biografii gdańskiego gauleitera Alberta Forstera oraz generalnego gubernatora Hansa Franka. Polska odznaczyła Dietera Schenka Krzyżem Oficerskim Orderu Zasługi Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej, a Niemcy - Orderem Zasługi Republiki Federalnej Niemiec na Wstędze. Oprócz tego otrzymał w Polsce, m.in. za książkę o mordzie na lwowskich profesorach, tytuł Kustosza Pamięci Narodowej. Prof. dr hab. Witold Kulesza - od 1973 roku zatrudniony w Katedrze Prawa Karnego na Wydziale Prawa i Administracji Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego. Jego zainteresowania badawcze koncentrują się na prawnokarnej ochronie czci i godności jednostki, wolności wypowiedzi oraz zbrodni systemów totalitarnych i odpowiedzialności karnej ich sprawców, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem odpowiedzialności sędziów i prokuratorów za zbrodnie sądowe. Od początku pracy zawodowej współpracownik Okręgowej Komisji Badania Zbrodni przeciwko Narodowi Polskiemu w Łodzi, od 1994 roku jej przewodniczący. W latach 1998-2006 dyrektor Głównej Komisji Badania - a następnie - Ścigania Zbrodni przeciwko Narodowi Polskiemu w Warszawie, wiceprezes IPN. Współautor projektu ustawy o Instytucie Pamięci Narodowej - Komisji Ścigania Zbrodni przeciwko Narodowi Polskiemu z dnia 18 grudnia 1998 roku, którą wprowadził do polskiego prawa karnego pojęcie i karalność "kłamstwa oświęcimskiego". Członek-kurator Międzynarodowego Kuratorium Badania Powojennego Wymiaru Sprawiedliwości w Wiedniu. Stypendysta Fundacji im. Alexandra von Humboldta.
