Il cacciatore di nazisti
Nonostante il processo di Norimberga del 1946, nel dopoguerra migliaia di assassini nazisti rimasero in libertà. In Germania e tra gli Alleati prevaleva la voglia di lasciarsi il passato alle spalle, e molte colpe e circostanze del conflitto mondiale e dell'Olocausto rischiavano di essere dimenticate. Jack Fairweather fa rivivere in queste pagine l'incredibile ed emozionante storia di Fritz Bauer, magistrato e giurista ebreo e omosessuale che, al rientro in Germania dopo l'esilio forzato in Svezia, si impegnò fino allo stremo per costringere i suoi connazionali a fare i conti con le responsabilità e le complicità diffuse dell'orrore nazista. Ne emerge il quadro di una Germania oscura, inquietante, omofoba e razzista anche nel post 1945, in cui diversi criminali di guerra avevano ruoli chiave nei ministeri federali e la CIA finanziava l'ex rete di spionaggio di Hitler. Molti provarono a fermare il procuratore Bauer, che però non si lasciò intimidire. Solo grazie alla sua lotta per la verità, centinaia di nazisti furono consegnati alla giustizia, e migliaia di vittime ottennero un giusto risarcimento.

Volontario ad Auschwitz
Settembre 1940. Dal momento in cui si hanno notizie dell'inizio dell'attività nel campo di prigionia nazista di Auschwitz, ben poco filtra su quello che succede davvero oltre il filo spinato. Witold Pilecki, membro della resistenza polacca, si offre volontario per una missione ad altissimo rischio: farsi catturare dalle SS, entrare nel Lager e raccogliere quante più informazioni su ciò che avviene li dentro. Se possibile, dovrà anche sabotare le attività che vi si svolgono. Ma una volta all'interno di Auschwitz, Pilecki capisce che quello non è un normale campo di prigionia. L'orrore della Soluzione Finale nazista lo spinge allora a tentare il tutto per tutto: evadere, raggiungere l'Europa dell'ovest e infirmare gli Alleati delle mostruosità che avvengono in quel posto. Una missione che sembra un vero e proprio suicidio. Censurata dal governo comunista polacco nel dopoguerra, la storia di Pilecki viene riportata alla luce in questo libro. Attraverso diari, testimonianze e documenti a lungo secretati, Jack Fairweather ricostruisce una delle vicende più scioccanti della seconda guerra mondiale. La tragica fine della missione di Pilecki, infatti, non fu decisa ad Auschwitz, ma nelle stanze segrete di Londra e Washington...

The Prosecutor
WINNER OF THE NATIONAL JEWISH BOOK AWARD: BIOGRAPHYTHE NEW BOOK FROM THE BESTSELLING, COSTA PRIZE-WINNING AUTHOR OF THE VOLUNTEER'FIVE STARS ... Magnificent' Telegraph'Compulsively readable' Financial Times'Gripping and timely' The Times'Crackingly told' Philippe Sands'A kind of masterclass' Sebastian JungerThe true story of a Jewish lawyer who returned to Germany after WWII to prosecute war crimes, only to find himself pitted against a nation determined to bury the past.At the end of the Nuremberg trial in 1946, some of the greatest war criminals in history were sentenced to death, but hundreds of thousands of Nazi murderers and collaborators remained at large. The Allies were ready to overlook their pasts as the Cold War began, and the horrors of the Holocaust were in danger of being forgotten.In The Prosecutor, Jack Fairweather brings to life the remarkable story of Fritz Bauer, a gay German Jew who survived the Nazis and made it his mission to force his countrymen to confront their complicity in the genocide. In this deeply researched book, Fairweather draws on unpublished family papers, newly declassified German records, and exclusive interviews to immerse readers in the dark, unfamiliar world of postwar West Germany where those who implemented genocide run the country, the CIA is funding Hitler's former spy-ring in the east, and Nazi-era anti-gay laws are strictly enforced. But once Bauer lands on the trail of Adolf Eichmann, he won't be intimidated. His journey takes him deep into the rotten heart of West Germany, where his fight for justice will set him against his own government and a network of former Nazis and spies determined to silence him.In a time when the history of the Holocaust is taken for granted, The Prosecutor reveals the courtroom battles that were fought to establish its legacy and the personal cost of speaking out. The result is a searing portrait of a nation emerging from the ruins of fascism and one man's courage in forcing his people--and the world--to face the truth.
