Reviews
"The author's analysis admirably combines scholarly scrupulousness with moral insight as she documents the personal stories of some who survived the Holocaust and others who did not. A rare book that ably combines historical edification with a moving narrative."-- Kirkus Reviews, Exhaustively researched and fluidly written, the book takes a hard look at these varying roles the SNCF played during the conflict., "An excellent, well-written, original contribution to a growing field of business and human rights. Last Train to Auschwitz engagingly weaves together victims' narratives and historical and legal archives to provide a compelling contribution to the study of corporate accountability and transitional justice."--Leigh Payne, University of Oxford, An exceptionally thought-provoking book. . . . Last Train to Auschwitz deserves a place in the library of any student of the Holocaust and, for that matter, any student of law who has ever thought deeply about crime, punishment and, most especially, justice., "Thank you for this remarkable book...I don't think I fully appreciated the implications of repair for serious trauma involving institutions until reading your account. You are to be thanked greatly for this! A real triumph!"--Arthur Kleinman, Harvard University, Thank you for this remarkable book...I don't think I fully appreciated the implications of repair for serious trauma involving institutions until reading your account. You are to be thanked greatly for this! A real triumph!, Last Train to Auschwitz is one of the best books I've read on transitional justice, accountability, and the figure of the victim after periods of mass violence. The research is original, the organization of the book is clear, and the writing is elegant and engaging., "An exceptionally thought-provoking book. . . . Last Train to Auschwitz deserves a place in the library of any student of the Holocaust and, for that matter, any student of law who has ever thought deeply about crime, punishment and, most especially, justice."-- Martyrdom & Resistance, "A pathbreaking book on Holocaust memory. Setting the SNCF struggle with its past into a transatlantic exchange, Federman has written an integrated history of an unfinished controversy that has already lasted more than thirty years. An important work for understanding the role of businesses in transitional justice."--Jean-Marc Dreyfus, University of Manchester, " Last Train to Auschwitz is one of the best books I've read on transitional justice, accountability, and the figure of the victim after periods of mass violence. The research is original, the organization of the book is clear, and the writing is elegant and engaging."--Ronen Steinberg, Department of History, Michigan State University, A pathbreaking book on Holocaust memory. Setting the SNCF struggle with its past into a transatlantic exchange, Federman has written an integrated history of an unfinished controversy that has already lasted more than thirty years. An important work for understanding the role of businesses in transitional justice., An excellent, well-written, original contribution to a growing field of business and human rights. Last Train to Auschwitz engagingly weaves together victims' narratives and historical and legal archives to provide a compelling contribution to the study of corporate accountability and transitional justice., "Exhaustively researched and fluidly written, the book takes a hard look at these varying roles the SNCF played during the conflict."-- The San Diego Union-Tribune, Provides a nuanced examination of a complex and ongoing story that asks the reader to think about corporate accountability and ethics. There is much in this book to appeal to people interested in legal history, transitional justice, business history, and memory politics, as well as to specialists in France and the Holocaust. It forces us to again ask where the limits of professionalism and duty lie in times that challenge traditional norms and push the boundaries of morality., The author's analysis admirably combines scholarly scrupulousness with moral insight as she documents the personal stories of some who survived the Holocaust and others who did not. A rare book that ably combines historical edification with a moving narrative.

Synopsis
In the immediate decades after World War II, the French National Railways (SNCF) was celebrated for its acts of wartime heroism. However, recent debates and litigation have revealed the ways the SNCF worked as an accomplice to the Third Reich and was actively complicit in the deportation of 75,000 Jews and other civilians to death camps. Sarah Federman delves into the interconnected roles--perpetrator, victim, and hero--the company took on during the harrowing years of the Holocaust. Grounded in history and case law, Last Train to Auschwitz traces the SNCF's journey toward accountability in France and the United States, culminating in a multimillion-dollar settlement paid by the French government on behalf of the railways.The poignant and informative testimonies of survivors illuminate the long-term effects of the railroad's impact on individuals, leading the company to make overdue amends. In a time when corporations are increasingly granted the same rights as people, Federman's detailed account demonstrates the obligations businesses have to atone for aiding and abetting governments in committing atrocities. This volume highlights the necessity of corporate integrity and will be essential reading for those called to engage in the difficult work of responding to past harms., In the immediate decades after World War II, the French National Railways (SNCF) was celebrated for its acts of wartime heroism.
