ON THIS MONTH: LITERATURE Philippe Sands All roads lead to Lviv When the barrister Philippe Sands, a specialist in international law, was invited, in 2011, to give a lecture at the University of Lviv, in Western Ukraine, he thought the place sounded familiar. And so it might have: Lviv is the Ukrainian name for a city known as Lwow by the Russians, Lvov by the Poles, and Lemburg by the Germans, all of whom controlled the city at some point in the twentieth century. It turned out it was the home of his grandfather Leon before he escaped Nazism. Leon’s wife and child also managed to flee to England: all the rest of his of his relatives were murdered in the Holocaust. It was also where two brilliant lawyers, who spearheaded the prosecution cases in the Nuremburg Trials, were brought up: Hersch Lauterpacht, who put the indictment of ‘crimes against humanity’ into the trials, and Raphael Lemkin, who indicted, for the first time, against what he termed ‘genocide’. “I was having lunch with my editor after I came back [from Lviv],” I’m told, by Sands, down the phone, “and I was talking about these three men’s intertwining stories, and he said ‘that’s your next book!’ It wasn’t until later down the line that a fourth character walked into the book: Hans Frank.” “Frank is a totally fascinating figure,” he continues. “He was highly educated, intelligent and cultured. He was an outstanding pianist, and the friend of authors, and musicians, like Richard Strauss. And yet he became responsible for the murder of countless people.” Frank, Hitler’s Photo by John Reynolds personal lawyer, who became the Nazi regime’s chief jurist in occupied Poland (including Lviv) was tried at Nuremberg: he was found guilty of crimes against humanity, and executed. “The big question is, if a man as ordinary as Hans Frank can, swept up in a bigger moment, cross the line into mass murder, then why not someone like me?” A question, he suggests, which is ever more pertinent in our changing political climate. The book is called East West Street, and it’s a rare beast: a book on international law, crossed with a family memoir, which has the suspense and pace of a detective novel, building up to a climactic last quarter describing the Nuremburg Trials. For Sands, the Trials were a massive milestone in legal history: “This was the first time in which rules were created so that the power of the state was not absolute.” Again there’s a current pertinence: “[The aftermath of] Trump and Brexit are threatening to push that back.” The book has led to a film, My Nazi Legacy: What Our Fathers Did, “directed by my dear friend David Evans, who also happens to be the director of much of Downton Abbey,” says Philippe, who wrote the documentary's script. The film, being shown at Depot Cinema two days before his talk in the All Saints, also features the sons of two prominent Nazis, one of whom is Niklas Frank, son of Hans Frank.
