Description
A gripping and thought-provoking book explores one man's trial for his role in a Nazi concentration camp over seven decades ago. Bruno Dey stands accused of involvement in the murder of thousands of inmates at Stutthof, a crime he denies. As the last members of the war generation disappear, this trial raises profound questions about historical responsibility and personal guilt. The case has significant implications for German history, politics, and collective memory, as well as for the author's own family. Tobias Buck revisits his family's experience during the Nazi period and grapples with the question of whether it is right to prosecute Bruno Dey so many years after he stood guard at Stutthof. Through this riveting courtroom drama, Buck invites readers to consider the complexities of justice, memory, and personal responsibility in the face of historical trauma.
