Bruno Dey stands accused of being involved in a crime committed over seven decades ago: the murder of at least 5,230 inmates at Stutthof, the Nazi concentration camp in present-day Poland. Only seventeen at the time, Dey was a member of the SS unit responsible for administering the camp. Though he concedes to his role as a guard, he adamantly denies responsibility for the killings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDey's trial comes at a poignant moment. As the last members of the war generation - both victims and perpetrators - disappear, so does their first-hand knowledge of the Holocaust's horrors. Beyond its immediate legal implications, the trial stirs profound questions that resonate not only within the realms of German history, politics and collective memory but also within the author's own family. Tobias Buck revisits the silence that surrounds his family's experience during the Nazi period - and his German grandfather's role and responsibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThrough the lens of this riveting courtroom drama, \u003ci\u003eFinal Verdict\u003c\/i\u003e explores the trial's broader significance, both on a political and personal level, and invites us to grapple with the question of whether it is right to prosecute Bruno Dey more than seven decades after he stood guard at Stutthof, and, perhaps more importantly, what we might have done in his place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46832999858412,"sku":"9781399604260","price":39.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/8410663482686.jpg?v=1758422999"},{"product_id":"final-verdict-by-tobias-buck-9781399604277","title":"Final Verdict","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFinal Verdict\u003c\/i\u003e is a book by Tobias Buck that has garnered critical acclaim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSHORTLISTED FOR THE HWA NON-FICTION CROWN\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLONGLISTED FOR THE WINGATE LITERARY PRIZE\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e'A masterly account' \u003ci\u003eTHE TIMES\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e'A brilliant book' \u003ci\u003eOBSERVER\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Excellent . . . a timely, wise and fair-minded meditation on a singular crime' \u003ci\u003eTIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e'A thrilling read' PHILIPPE SANDS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e'[A] gripping and fascinating book' JAMES HOLLAND, \u003ci\u003eTELEGRAPH \u003c\/i\u003e5* review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn October 2019, Hamburg witnesses a trial laden with extraordinary historical weight.
