East West Street By Philippe Sands
Feb 12, 2024 
East West Street by Philippe Sands. It examines the lives of two Jewish lawyers, Hersch Lauterpacht and Raphael Lemkin, born within three years of each other and students in the same city on the eastern outskirts of Europe, Lviv. These remarkable individuals created the legal concepts of crimes against humanity and genocide. The book serves as both a memoir and a history of the origins of international criminal law in the aftermath of the Second World War.
Critics have praised it for its narrative sweep, intellectual grip, and emotional impact. It’s a powerful meditation on memory, crime, and guilt across generations.
