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.

Fritz Bauer Ultras

Staatstheater Mainz

I never wanted to wear your shoes. But I still dream of how we go for a walk, you and I, and just for once to the kiosk and back you lend me your sneakers and slip into my old boots yourself. Do you remember? Yours never fit me, but I was able to stand in them and feel where they pinched. Why can't I do that anymore? We used to understand each other, really understand each other, or did I just dream that? Today I can hardly hear your words because of all the emotions, they shout like market criers just before the end of the day, and often I just leave and slam the door or you sigh and laugh at me. At some point we give up, "what a pity", we simply don't know how we could still recognize the other person in their difference, even if we wanted to. When did we forget how to speak?
