Despite some popular perception, Holocaust perpetrators are rarely cartoonish pure evil characters. In fact, many of them understood their guilt and actively sought to weave false narratives to exonerate themselves or avoid prosecution.
The story of Franz Lucas is one such narrative. In this episode, I talk with Andrew Wisely about Lucas, an SS doctor at multiple concentration camps. We discuss his complicity in the Holocaust as well as his attempts to avoid prosecution in post-war German society.65
Andrew Wisely is Associate Professor of German at Baylor University.
