Perpetrators and their Victims
Paul Bogdanor, Anthony Rudolf
In Jerzyk, Anthony Rudolf recounts the tragic story of his cousin, the only child suicide recorded in the archives of Yad Vashem. In Kasztner’s Crime, Paul Bogdanor argues that Kasztner, forced into collaboration with Eichmann, sacrificed the lives of many to save a very few. The event’s moderator, Michael Pinto-Duschinsky, owes his own life to Kasztner’s intervention.
‘Anthony Rudolf has produced a small jewel of a book. He tells a compelling, tragic story that brings the reader close not only to the realities of the Holocaust but also to its impact on the survivors and their children over many years.’ Michael Pinto-Duschinsky from Standpoint.
Paul Bogdanor is an author and researcher. His interest include political extremism, genocide, the Holocaust, Zionism , anti-Zionism and antisemitism.
