Teiksim， kā ir: jaunās paaudzes skats uz neonacisma vai aizmiršanas politikas/revizionisma atdzimšanu Eiropā， par pamatu ņemot attieksmi pret holokausta upuriem （un neņemot vērā daudz ko citu）。 No saturiskā maz jauna， lielākoties skaidrojumi par to， kas ir Latvija， Arāja komanda un tamlīdzīgi， bet līdz saknēm nenonāk。Lai nu kā， vēstījums kā zefīra detektīvs par nezināmo vectēvu Borisu Kinstleru lika izlasīt līdz galam， lai gan principā Latvijas lasītājam tas būs garlaicīgi。 Protams， šodienas kon Teiksim， kā ir: jaunās paaudzes skats uz neonacisma vai aizmiršanas politikas/revizionisma atdzimšanu Eiropā， par pamatu ņemot attieksmi pret holokausta upuriem （un neņemot vērā daudz ko citu）。 No saturiskā maz jauna， lielākoties skaidrojumi par to， kas ir Latvija， Arāja komanda un tamlīdzīgi， bet līdz saknēm nenonāk。Lai nu kā， vēstījums kā zefīra detektīvs par nezināmo vectēvu Borisu Kinstleru lika izlasīt līdz galam， lai gan principā Latvijas lasītājam tas būs garlaicīgi。 Protams， šodienas kontekstā jautājums “kā mēs zināsim， kad esam nonākuši līdz “Z”？” izskatās mīlīgs。 。。。more

Part history， part investigative memoir， Come to this Court and Cry is an intelligent account of the Holocaust in Latvia as told through the lens of the law。 Exploring the sensitive subject of historical revisionism through the ongoing case of Herberts Cukurs， Kinstler poses the question what if the antonym of 'forgetting' is not 'remembering'， but justice？It's a captivating， thought-provoking read， providing the reader with an insight not only into the historical facts of the Holocaust in Latvi Part history， part investigative memoir， Come to this Court and Cry is an intelligent account of the Holocaust in Latvia as told through the lens of the law。 Exploring the sensitive subject of historical revisionism through the ongoing case of Herberts Cukurs， Kinstler poses the question what if the antonym of 'forgetting' is not 'remembering'， but justice？It's a captivating， thought-provoking read， providing the reader with an insight not only into the historical facts of the Holocaust in Latvia， but also the importance of interpretation， and the way historical crimes are addressed by the law。*Thank you to Netgalley for the arc in exchange for an honest review* 。。。more

It is difficult if not impossible to say that I "enjoyed" this book given its appalling and tragic subject matter but this was a brilliantly evocative and well executed and perhaps cathartic account of how Linda Kinstler's grandfather was involved in the Nazi death squads exterminating the Jews in Latvia。I find it hard to read much about the Holocaust and antisemitism this is a worthy and well written addition to the genre。 It is difficult if not impossible to say that I "enjoyed" this book given its appalling and tragic subject matter but this was a brilliantly evocative and well executed and perhaps cathartic account of how Linda Kinstler's grandfather was involved in the Nazi death squads exterminating the Jews in Latvia。I find it hard to read much about the Holocaust and antisemitism this is a worthy and well written addition to the genre。 。。。more

A fascinating account of the Holocaust in Latvia and the role of the author's grandfather in a specific unit who carried out many executions of Jewish people by bullet。 A huge amount of research has gone into this book to make it a captivating read。 I understand that the premise of it is to discover more about the author's grandfather but to me， his role is so unclear as so little is known about it that it just appears at various parts of the story to little consequence。 The story feels ultimate A fascinating account of the Holocaust in Latvia and the role of the author's grandfather in a specific unit who carried out many executions of Jewish people by bullet。 A huge amount of research has gone into this book to make it a captivating read。 I understand that the premise of it is to discover more about the author's grandfather but to me， his role is so unclear as so little is known about it that it just appears at various parts of the story to little consequence。 The story feels ultimately about Cukurs， his assassination and the revisionist approach being taken in Latvia with regards to Cukurs。 Overall it is a well written and well researched book。 I noticed that the author sometimes writes in the present tense with regards to past events and I found that irritating at times。 Also， I think the addition of photos of Boris in his Nazi uniform and of Cukurs would be beneficial in further engaging the reader。 。。。more
