David Nasaw‘s The Last Million: Europe’s Displaced Persons from World War to Cold War tells the until now largely hidden postwar story of the more than one million displaced persons left behind in Germany, who refused to go home or had no homes to return to. Called “insightful and eye-opening” by NPR’s Jim Zarroli and “absorbing and ultimately wrenching” in the New York Times, Nasaw’s examination of the tragic fate of so many men, women, and children is a history lesson we all must learn. He’s speaking with essayist and critic Adina Hoffman, author of Ben Hecht: Fighting Words, Moving Pictures and House of Windows: Portraits from a Jerusalem Neighborhood.
