The Trent community was treated to a homecoming success story as high-profile Ryerson professor, Tomaz Jardim, returned to his undergraduate alma mater to speak in the Lady Eaton College “Pit.”  While the topic of his lecture, The Mauthausen Concentration Camp Trial, may have hit a few somber notes, the overall mood of the packed hall was one of excitement.

“This is great,” exclaimed Dr. Jardim.  “I remember hearing some great speakers sitting here in “the Pit.”  I could never have imagined lecturing here myself.”

Dr. Jardim, who received his undergraduate degree in History at Trent in the late nineties, has garnered plenty of attention and respect for his work on the Third Reich, the Holocaust, and post-war military justice. Before being named as full-time faculty at Ryerson, he held the prestigious role of post-doctoral fellow at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC.  His current book, The Mauthausen Trial: American Military Justice in Germany, has been receiving very positive reviews. Leaning, as it does, on in-depth interviews of participants, his work stands as the definitive study of the Mauthausen Trial.
