Indictment of SS officer Otto von Wachter, overseer of the Nazi ‘final solution’ in Poland
COG IN THE NAZI KILLING MACHINE: Otto von Wachter

 

WHAT is perhaps the last trial of a Nazi is currently drawing to a close in Hamburg, Germany. In the dock is an SS butcher who participated in the killing of over 5,000 Jews and Poles at the Stutthof camp in Poland where over 63,00 inmates were murdered.

A trial of a different kind, equally compelling, takes place in this book by Philippe Sands. In his previous book East West Street, he recounted the genocide in Poland around the camp in Lviv in which his grandfather was a victim.
