Dorothea G. Minskoff
Biography
Dorothea Grater Minskoff (1910-1986) was born in Pennsylvania, graduated from the University of Pennsylvania’s law school in 1934, and married fellow graduate Emanuel Minskoff. There were very few women in law school at the time, and when she was unable to find a job as an attorney, she worked as a secretary for the American Bankers Association. Through her classmate Josiah Dubois, she and Emanuel were recruited to be a part of the Nuremburg prosecution. She served as part of the prosecution team for the Ministries trial in the late 1940s, and then worked at the Justice Department until the late 1960s.
