Editor reviews
Opponents of immigration to the United States may want to take a listen to this 2006 interview of Kati Marton by the late Richard Holbrooke, an American career diplomat (and Marton’s husband), recorded in 2006 at the 92nd Street Y in New York. The interview focuses on “Jewish Identity and Exile”, a concept explored in Marton’s book, Great Escape: Nine Who Fled Hitler and Changed the World.
Great Escape details the lives of nine Hungarian Jews whose contribution to American life is inestimable; from Hollywood to computing to weaponry, they rose to the very top of the ladder of innovation while remaining lifelong friends. This lively discussion can serve as an introduction - or a satisfying afterword - to Marton’s compelling work.
Summary
The story of these nine immigrants' astonishing success and influence is told in Marton's The Great Escape: Nine Who Fled Hitler and Changed the World.
