After returning from exile, he began his work in Braunschweig until 1956. In a sensational trial, he achieved the rehabilitation of the resistance fighters of July 20, 1944. His work in Frankfurt until 1968 was associated with the kidnapping of Adolf Eichmann and the Auschwitz trials. The controversial lawyer encountered a wide range of rejections, and as a Jew, also openly anti-Semitic hostility. He campaigned for the consistent criminal prosecution of Nazi injustice and thus made a significant contribution to the democratization of West German society.
