'[A] gripping and fascinating book' JAMES HOLLAND, TELEGRAPH 5* review
In October 2019, Hamburg witnesses a trial laden with extraordinary historical weight. Bruno Dey is charged with the murder of at least 5,230 inmates at the Stutthof concentration camp over seventy years ago. While he admits his role as a guard, he denies responsibility for the killings. This gripping trial unfolds as the last witnesses of the Holocaust disappear, raising profound questions about German history, politics, collective memory, and personal accountability.
Reflecting on his own family's silence about their Nazi-era experiences, Tobias Buck uses this courtroom drama in Final Verdict to explore the broader significance of prosecuting Dey so many decades later and to consider what choices we might have made in his position.
