Description:Faced with injustice, what can a concerned citizen do? In 1933, when Hitler blamed Communists for setting the Reichstag on fire, European and American lawyers responded by staging a "countertrial," which proved them innocent and eventually led to their release, launching a new unofficial way of advancing human rights.
