Walther Rauff, a key figure responsible for the wartime horrors of mobile gas vans, fled justice and found an unlikely refuge in Chile. Settling in Punta Arenas, he managed a king crab cannery, seemingly far removed from his dark past. But as rumours swirl about Rauffs involvement with Pinochets secret intelligence services and the disappearances that plagued Chile, a chilling narrative unfolds.</p><p>In 1998, as Pinochet faces arrest in London, Philippe Sands, approached to advise the dictator, instead chooses to act as a barrister for Human Rights Watch. This decision leads to an eight-year exploration into Rauffs second life, his ties to Pinochet and his role in the atrocities at the heart of the London proceedings. A unique blend of memoir, detective story, courtroom drama and travelogue, drawing on interviews with key players and extensive research in archives worldwide, Sands unveils a hidden double story of mass murder and a disturbing link between the atrocities of the 1940s and those of our own times.</p><p>As the narrative unfolds, we are transported into a world where the echoes of historical crimes reverberate through the corridors of power, exposing the chilling truth behind the lives of two men and their intertwined destinies on 38 Londres Street.</p>...(*_*)9781474620772_<p><strong>In <em>38 Londres Street</em>, Philippe Sands blends personal memoir, historical detective work and gripping courtroom drama to probe a secret double story of mass murder, one that reveals a shocking thread that links the horrors of the 1940s with those of our own times.</strong></p><p>The house at 38 Londres Street is home to the legacies of two men whose personal stories span continents, nationalities and decades of atrocity: Augusto Pinochet, President of Chile, and Walther Rauff, a Nazi SS officer responsible for the use of gas vans.</p><p>On the run from justice at the end of the Second World War, Rauff crosses the ocean to southern Chile.
