Philippe Sands in conversation with Juan Gabriel Vásquez

From Nazism to Pinochet

Cartagena 2026, 

The links between two of the most terrible dictatorships of the 20th century are to be found in 38 Londres Street, by Philippe Sands (UK). The Nazi criminal Walter Rauff ended up in Punta Arenas, in Chilean Patagonia, collaborating with the Pinochet regime. Sands, who worked as a lawyer in the former dictator’s trial, reconstructs the relationship between Rauff and Pinochet, a story of justice and impunity told using documents, archives and testimonies.
