The extraordinary true story of the UK’s only war crimes trial. Childhood friends in 1930s Belarus Ben-Zion Blustein and Andrei Sawoniuk became enemies after the Nazi invasion. Ben-Zion made his way to Israel, Andrei to England, where he worked for British Rail. They next confronted each other over 50 years later at the Old Bailey, the former the principal prosecution witness for the latter’s murder charge. Mike and Neil tell the remarkable story in The Ticket Collector from Belarus.
