East West Street: A Song of Good & Evil is an extraordinary live performance based on Philippe Sands’ bestselling book, East West Street, and presents actors, video, words, and music to explore conflicts and connections between the men at the heart of the Nuremberg war crimes trial: Cambridge academic Hersch Lauterpacht, Polish prosecutor Raphael Lemkin, and Hitler’s notorious lawyer, Hans Frank. It also interweaves the story of Sands’ grandfather and family from Lvov and the creation of international human rights law. It is a fascinating account of the origins of the concepts of crimes against humanity and genocide. Philippe Sands will be in attendance.
