About Thomas Buergenthal

Justice Thomas Buergenthal, formerly of the UN Human Rights Committee and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, is currently a judge at the International Court of Justice in The Hague. He has recently written a memoir - A Lucky Child: A Memoir of Surviving Auschwitz as a Young Boy - about his time as a prisoner in Nazi ghettos and camps during world war II.

Buergenthal was first imprizoned at the age of seven, being rescued by Soviet and Polish troops when he was eleven. Separated from his parents in Auschwitz and surviving the 'Death March' of 1945 he was miraculously reunited with his mother a year and a half later. The rest of his family and almost all of his friends were killed. After experiencing the turmoil of Europe's post-war years - from the Battle of Berlin, to a Jewish orphanage in Poland - Buergenthal went to America in the 1950s at the age of seventeen. He eventually became one of the world's leading experts on international law and human rights. His story of survival and his determination to use law and justice to prevent further genocide is an epic journey through 20th century history. In his book, Buergenthal gives his perspective - as a child - on life in the camps. And, uniquely, he shows how his past has informed his understanding of the modern day war-crimes he sees as a judge. His book is both a special historical document and a great literary achievement, comparable only to Primo Levi's masterpieces.

Review: " an extraordinary story... Heartbreaking and thrilling, it examines what it means to be human, in every good and awful sense' Elizabeth McCracken"
