An investigated history, with dashes of memoir, true crime, and meditations on what it means to remember and to forgive, Come to This Court and Cry truly has everything. (Disclaimer: I’m friends with the author, but if you doubt the sincerity of my praise, check out the reviews.) It centers on the murder of Herbert Cukurs, a Latvian Nazi collaborator responsible for brutal mass deaths, and the competing efforts by family, state officials, survivors, and Jewish communities to craft the narrative of his memory. Woven into this investigation is Kinstler’s own family history: Though her maternal relatives are Jewish, her paternal grandfather worked alongside Cukurs and then disappeared after World War II. –NBT
