    Obituary in Proceeding of the American Society of International Law – 1971:
    MAX M. MANDELLAUB

     It is with great sadness and an acute sens of personal loss that I record the passing of Dr. Max Mandellaub in Frankfurt on November 16, 1967.
     Dr. Mandellaub was a member of the Society for over 25 years, and looked forward to pilgrimages from abroad almost every year to attend the sessions of the Society and to renew his cherished association with friends in the international legal profession. Dr. Mandellaub and I were students together at Geneva, before World War II, where he took his Doctor’s degree. He was a gifted writer, a brilliant analyst of European affairs, and a fine international lawyer. The tragic loss of both of his parents in Nazi gas chambers, a blow which seared his existence, his own escape from a German prisoner of war camp, and, subsequently his retributive assignment to the Chief of Counsel for the Punishment of War Criminals (in which capacity he prosecuted the case against the Krupps) marked a life that knew few periods of freedom from stress. His work on Nationalité c. l’État dans la Consitution Fédérale Suisse is still regarded as the authority in its field. Requiescat in Pace

    Max Mandellaub was U.S. Associate Counsel in the “Krupp Case” during the Nuremberg Trials (1947-1949) [Source]

    Before moving to The Hague, Max Mandellaub lived in Duisburg. (Source: Brief von Max Mandellaub an Schauspielhaus Düsseldorf / Hochschule für Bühnenkunst. Duisburg, 1929)

    Max Mandellaub received in 1936 an accessit of the Prix Disdier, from the Geneva University for his book “La philosophie morale de Max Scheler”. He also published “La Nationalité et l’État: Étude historique et juridique de la notion de nationalité en fonction des tendances de l’État national-socialiste” (Geneva, Switzerland. 1941).

    In May 1940, Max Mandellaub stayed in the Camp de Loriol (Drôme, France) : “[...] In May 1940, at the very end of the Loriol camp, they were joined by Max Mendellaub, a small, blond, almost bald, tanned, very intelligent, German student in Switzerland who had two doctorates in law and litterature, unto the direction of Professor Burkhardt of Geneva. He tells them that he was summoned to the police and imprisoned. He was forced to pass a confession according to which he would maintain relations with the USSR and with Walter Todt in particular; it is exactly the same accusation as the one already made by the Swiss. The CAR of Lyon and Father Chaillet intervened in his favor. He even thinks he can emigrate to the United States.” (Source: Quelques camps du Sud-Est, 1939-1940, par André Fontaine)

    In September 1941, Max Mandellaub immigrates to the United States. Source: List of Manifest of Alien Passengers for the United States.
