In this virtual discussion presented by HMTC from October 20, 2020, acclaimed historian David Nasaw talked about his new book, The Last Million: Europe’s Displaced Persons from World War to Cold War. The book explores what happened to the one million Holocaust Survivors, former slave laborers, and POWs who found themselves in Germany at the end of WWII, describing the creation and operation of Displaced Persons Camps and the eventual scattering of this population around the world.

David Nasaw is the author of The Patriarch, selected by the New York Times as one of the 10 Best Books of the Year and a 2013 Pulitzer Prize Finalist in Biography; Andrew Carnegie, a New York Times Notable Book of the Year, the recipient of the New-York Historical Society's American History Book Prize, and a 2007 Pulitzer Prize Finalist in Biography; and The Chief, which was awarded the Bancroft Prize for History and the J. Anthony Lukas Book Prize for Nonfiction. He is a past president of the Society of American Historians, and until 2019 he served as the Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. Professor of History at the CUNY Graduate Center.
