This chapter deals with historical Holocaust crime fiction, or works written in the post-war period that are largely set during the Nazi era. This sort of historical crime fiction is one of the most common, recognizable, and popular forms of fiction using crime fiction models to explore aspects of the Holocaust. Taking as its primary case studies Hans Hellmut Kirst’s The Night of the Generals (1962) and Philip Kerr’s Bernie Gunther series (1989–2019), it introduces several key areas of concern for Holocaust crime fiction more broadly, including an interest in the contrast between crime fiction’s investment in the significance of the individual and the historical reality of mass murder in the context of mass wartime atrocities; in the complexities and importance of Holocaust memory; and in the problems associated with the figure of the Nazi-era detective.
