Voicemails from History

History is created using the evidence that people leave behind, sometimes in documents and photo albums, other times on scraps and footsteps here and there. Each episode will feature a voicemail, an extract from the book I’m reading: it could be a speech, an interpretation, a conversation. Join me, a graduate and teacher of history, as I share and review books covering a range of historical events, people and memories. I’ll be offering my commentary and perspective to create a conversation about the issues and values which affect us in the present.

Putting Lviv into the Nuremberg narrative, with Philippe Sands

Today's voicemail is adapted from a debate on page 148 from Philippe Sands's book, East West Street.

This brilliantly written book focuses on the personal narratives responsible for the development of the legal concepts 'genocide' and 'crimes against humanity'. Sands explains how three men moving through this one city in central Europe all affected the Nuremberg Trials of 1946. I discuss how these origins have implications for our understanding of international law and the International Criminal Court in the 21st century.
