About this Event
Join internationally acclaimed human rights lawyer and award-winning author Philippe Sands for an illuminating conversation on his acclaimed new book, 38 Londres Street.
In discussion with Chilean lawyer Monse Madariaga Sands will explore the extraordinary true story behind the book—tracing the legacies of Augusto Pinochet’s dictatorship, the pursuit of justice across continents, and the hidden connections between Chile, Britain and Nazi fugitives in Patagonia.
Together, they will reflect on history, memory, accountability, and why these stories continue to resonate today.
