Speakers: Mike Anderson, Philip Rubenstein, Jon Silverman
1999 saw Britain’s first and only ever Nazi war crimes trial. The trial brought Andrei Sawoniuk – a retired ticket inspector, charged with murdering Jews during the Nazi occupation of Belarus – face to face for the first time in over 50 years with Ben-Zion Blustein, his former childhood friend and now a key witness for the prosecution. Mike Anderson, author of The Ticket Collector from Belarus and Jon Silverman, who covered the trial as BBC home affairs correspondent, join Philip Rubenstein, former director of the parliamentary campaign that enabled Nazi perpetrators living in the UK to be prosecuted, to discuss the extraordinary story of the trial and its aftermath.
