The Legacy of Impunity: A Book Talk on “38 Londres Street”
We are pleased to join our co-sponsors, UCLA’s Luskin Center for History and Policy, UCLA’s Sady and Ludwig Kahn Chair in Jewish History and the American Society of International Law, in inviting you to attend a book talk with Prof. Philippe Sands on his newest book, 38 Londres Street. This is a rare, pre-publication preview.
The book blends Sands’ personal memoir, historical detective work, and gripping courtroom drama to probe the secret double story of mass murder. What’s revealed is a shocking thread that links the horrors of the 1940s with those of our own times. Drawing on interviews, archival research, and first-hand accounts, Sands exposes the enduring consequences of historical crimes. In doing so, he reveals an untold and astonishing tale of the legacy of unchecked criminality and the road to impunity.
