Fra Øst-Vest-Gaden til Nürnberg af , Philippe Sands
En tour de force gennem juristerne Lauterpacht og Lemkin kamp for at få anerkendt de to begreber Folkedrab og Forbrydelser mod menneskeheden ved domstolen i Nûrnberg. Nazisten Hans Franks historie beskrives samt andre med tilknytning til forfatterens morfar, Leon, der stammede fra byen Lemberg, der er omdrejningspunkt i historien. En fremragende beskrivelse og et kæmpe efterforskningsarbejde.
