A profound and profoundly important book—a moving personal detective story, an uncovering of secret pasts, and a book that explores the creation and development of world-changing legal concepts that came about as a result of the unprecedented atrocities of Hitler’s Third Reich.
East West Street looks at the personal and intellectual evolution of the two men who simultaneously originated the ideas of “genocide” and “crimes against humanity,” both of whom, not knowing the other, studied at the same university with the same professors, in a city little known today that was a major cultural center of Europe, “the little Paris of Ukraine,” a city variously called Lemberg, Lwów, Lvov, or Lviv. It is also a spellbinding family memoir, as the author traces the mysterious story of his grandfather, as he maneuvered through Europe in the face of Nazi atrocities.
East West Street is a book that changes the way we look at the world, at our understanding of history and how civilization has tried to cope with mass murder.

2019-01-31 读过 为诠释法律形成的非理性过程创造的新小说形式。非常非常好看,作者文笔近年读过最舒服,这版用纸也带回忆里几年前纸张好闻的味道。
评分以四个人物为切入点,将历史事件在推移中丝丝缠绕,形成二战德国Reich迫害犹太人、波兰人以及吉普赛人的全面视角。人物事件不断穿插讲述,倒也不觉得凌乱,另外几个人的重大事件时间点其实都差不多,但也未有重复赘述之感(当然也或许是我记不住关键的地名),这对作者的材料整理组织能力要求也太高了。有关于德国二战前后的恶行,历史书基本寥寥几语,语文课本也就一篇《奥斯维辛没有新闻》,哪知背后生命和鲜血的消逝竟然绵延如此之久。但是战后审判也未根除其中恶因,近年也是不断看到有法西斯复辟的新闻,文中更是有战犯后代恬不知耻为杀人犯父亲辩白,甚至于去领获当代法西斯群体对其父亲的崇拜。另外文中有关于genocide又讲到美国对印第安人的暴行,看来没有谁忘记美国也不干净。

评分太好了!!the intellectual debate of genocide v. crimes against humanity parallels the interweaving of family history and Nazi history/Nuremberg ????读完毅然决然选了诉讼(并没有关系)
