American historian Dominick LaCapra closely connects the writing of history with the writing of trauma. Sacco succeeds at “reconstructing the past as objectively as possible” (LaCapra 186), particularly when depicting victim’s testimonies.

They were two Italian-Americans who were accused of armed robbery and murder at the Slater and Morrill shoe factory, according to Sacco & Vanzetti: Justice on Trial.
