Linda Kinstler

Linda Kinstler, an insightful author, delves into the Vatican's secretive sainthood process. She shares the compelling story of Carlo Acutis, a young boy whose miraculous life has captured the Church's attention. The discussion reveals how candidates are assessed, the evolving definition of miracles, and the balance between faith and ecclesiastical authority. Kinstler also highlights the impact of individual beliefs amid institutional scrutiny, offering a fascinating look into canonization's cultural significance today.

Last December, a German court convicted a 97-year-old former Nazi camp secretary of complicity in the murder of more than 10,000 people in what the media called—once again—the last Nazi trial. After almost eight decades, the Holocaust is still being litigated, remembered, and all-too-often misremembered.Lawfare managing editor Tyler McBrien sat down with Linda Kinstler, author of the book, “Come to This Court and Cry: How the Holocaust Ends,” and Sam Moyn, a professor of both history and law at Yale University, to discuss Linda's book. They talked about Linda's stunning discovery in Latvia that led her to tell this story, the limits of the law in holding perpetrators of mass murder accountable, and whether the antonym of forgetting is not remembering, but justice.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.
