Peter Weiss (1916-1982) a suivi, en 1964, le procès de plusieurs responsables du camp d'extermination d'Auschwitz. A partir des reportages publiés et des documents publics, il crée une grande pièce de théâtre documentaire, organisant les débats et leur donnant une intelligibilité qui permet de mieux comprendre l'histoire et d'en tirer les leçons.

Peter Weiss (1916-1982) was virtually unknown in the mid-1960s when Peter Brook made Marat/Sade into a film. The weaving of time, space, plot, real-and-imagined characters, sexual liberation, and surrealist imagery made Marat/Sade a sensation. Little did audiences realize that this counterculture classic was written by a German Jew. At that time, Weiss was also at work on a play about Auschwitz: The Investigation. These two dramas are in this volume along with The Shadow of the Body of the Coachman. All are cogently introduced and edited by Robert Cohen.
