In 38 Londres Street, 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.
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.
On the run from justice at the end of the Second World War, Rauff
crosses the ocean to southern Chile. He settles in Punta Arenas,
Patagonia, managing a king crab cannery at the end of the world. But
there are whispers about this discreet and self-possessed German -
rumours of a second career with Pinochet's secret intelligence service,
the dreaded DINA.
In 1998, Pinochet is in a London medical clinic when the police enter
his room and arrest him on charges of crimes against humanity and
genocide. Philippe Sands is called to advise the former head of state
on his claim to immunity, but will instead represent a human rights
organisation against him. Years later, Sands makes a discovery while
working on another book which reignites his interest in the case and
leads to a decades-long investigation into Pinochet's crimes, his
unexpected connection to Rauff and the former Nazi's possible
connection to Chile's disappeared.
