This coming Monday is Holocaust Memorial Day and the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, a death camp where over a million people were murdered. The modern human rights system emerged from the flames of the Holocaust. Professor Philippe Sands QC has done as much as anyone to tell that story through the prism of his own tragic family history. In this discussion we discuss how Philippe's wonderful book East West Street came to be written, why the lessons of the 1940s are still fundamentally important today and what we can do to honour them as living memory of the Holocaust disappears. This episode was recorded live at an even organised by Tzedek.

I highly recommend Philippe's book East West Street which I recently reviewed for The Times, and his podcast The Ratline.
