Philippe Sands concludes his trilogy with "38 Londres Street," which chronicles the descendants of Nazi perpetrators and their intertwining lives with post-war leaders like Pinochet. The narrative focuses on Walther Rauff, an SS commander responsible for significant Jewish deaths, and his escape to Chile, providing a poignant view of how fascist figures found refuge after WWII. Sands explores the moral complexities surrounding these figures, blending personal memoir, historical accounts, and legal implications that address crimes against humanity and genocide.
"Sands intricately navigates the dark corridors of history and legal frameworks that shaped accountability for war crimes, unveiling personal narratives that remain shaping forces today."
"In his conclusion, Sands highlights the unfurling narrative of Rauff and the repercussions of unaccounted atrocities, intertwining personal stories with broader historical themes."
