Willi Seidel
Willi Seidel was a notable German judge who gained recognition for his courageous stance against the oppressive laws of the Nazi regime during the early 1930s. He is best known for his refusal to penalize Jewish individuals in a case involving a coffee rationing campaign, where he upheld the principle of legal equity despite the prevailing anti-Semitic policies. Seidel's actions exemplified the moral courage of some judges who resisted the encroaching tyranny of the state, standing firm in the face of intimidation and advocating for justice in a time of widespread repression.
