COME TO THIS COURT AND CRY
SECRETS AND SURVIVAL AT THE LAST NAZI TRIALS
LINDA KINSTLER
A TABLET AND WALL STREET JOURNAL BOOK OF THE YEAR
Shortlisted for the Wingate Literary Prize
'A tremendous feat of storytelling, propelled by numerous twists and revelations, yet anchored by a deep moral seriousness . . . Enthralling' Guardian
Across the world the last Nazi trials are winding their way through the courts. Nearly a century on from the Holocaust, survivors are still asked to give proof - and, in an era of rising revisionism and denialism, have their stories questioned. In this spellbinding debut, Linda Kinstler investigates both her family story and the archives of ten nations to ask: what does it take to prove history in our uncertain century?
