Description
A Tablet and Wall Street Journal Book of the Year, shortlisted for the Wingate Literary Prize, this book is a spellbinding investigation into the last Nazi trials and the power of testimony in our uncertain century. Linda Kinstler delves into her family's story and the archives of ten nations to explore the instability of truth and the importance of preserving history. As the world grapples with rising revisionism and denialism, the stories of survivors are still being questioned. This book reminds us of the dangers of manipulating the past and the need to hold those responsible accountable. With its deep moral seriousness and numerous twists and revelations, it is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the complexities of history and the human experience. A debut that has garnered praise from authors such as Philippe Sands and Patrick Radden Keefe, this book is a thought-provoking exploration of the past and its relevance to our present.
