Exploring the theme of justice, we invite you to the Book Club discussion of Final Verdict: The Holocaust on Trial in the 21^stCentury (2024) by Tobias Buck. The gripping narrative of one of the last Nazi criminal trials in Germany—that of Bruno Dey, a 93-year-old former concentration camp guard charged with aiding the murder of more than 5,000 people—and a larger exploration of Germany's reckoning with the Holocaust, from silence to memory to today's rising tide of fascism and antisemitism. Final Verdict investigates questions that touch on German history, politics, and memory culture, and on the author’s own family history.
 
Tobias Buck will be our guest speaker for a virtual talk on Wednesday 13 November (12:30-1:30) for our RCHGHR Lecture Series, co-sponsored with The Hollybush Institute for Global Peace and Security.
