Philippe Sands in conversation with Rob Gifford, co-curator of StonyWords, about his new book 38 Londres Street.

Philippe is Professor of Public Understanding of Law at UCL and a practising barrister. The house at 38 Londres Street, Santiago is home to the legacies of two men whose personal stories span continents and decades of atrocity: Augusto Pinochet, President of Chile, and Walther Rauff, a Nazi SS officer responsible for the use of gas vans in World War II. In the book, Sands blends personal memoir, historical detective work and courtroom drama to probe a secret double story of mass murder.

Copies of the book will be available for purchase and signing
