A very interesting exploration of the attempt to hold Nazi war criminals to account for their crimes and a sometimes complex and jargon-y dive into the world of international criminal law, explaining in thoroughly researched detail how the concepts of 'crimes against humanity' and 'genocide' became legal doctrine, all set against the backdrop of the slow uncovering of the true human toll of those crimes on three families.
