The
Frankfurt Auschwitz trials, known in
German as
der Auschwitz-Prozess, or
der zweite Auschwitz-Prozess, (the "second Auschwitz trial") was a series of trials running from 20 December 1963 to 19 August 1965, charging 22 defendants under German
criminal law for their roles in the
Holocaust as mid- to lower-level officials in the
Auschwitz-Birkenau death and
concentration camp complex.
Hans Hofmeyer led as Chief Judge the "criminal case against
Mulka and others" (reference number 4 Ks 2/63).
