Abstract
Morgen installed an investigative commission in Auschwitz in the fall of 1943. He then opened an investigation into Maximilian Grabner, Chief of the Auschwitz Gestapo, on suspicion of murdering roughly 2000 inmates of the camp’s arrest bunker. Grabner was tried by a Special Purpose Court (Gericht zur besonderen Verwendung) that Himmler had established within the SS Judiciary, at Morgen’s request. Significantly, the idea for establishing the court originated with Konrad Morgen.
