The Prosecutor

In "The Prosecutor," award-winning author Jack Fairweather recounts the gripping true story of Fritz Bauer, a Jewish lawyer who returned to post-World War II Germany to prosecute war crimes amidst widespread indifference to the Holocaust. Drawing on extensive research, including unpublished family papers and interviews, Fairweather explores Bauer’s relentless pursuit of justice against formidable opposition, including his own government and a network of former Nazis. This timely narrative not only highlights the struggles in facing a painful past but also underscores the courage required to confront national complicity in genocide.
