Kati Marton and Richard Holbrooke on 'Jewish Identity and Exile' at the 92nd Street Y

Richard C. Holbrooke, the former US ambassador to the United Nations, interviews author Kati Marton about the extraordinary journey made by nine Hungarian-Jewish immigrants who initiated America's nuclear weapons program, invented the computer and photojournalism, and became a major force in Hollywood, producing some of the most iconic films of the 20th century, among them
Casablanca and
Darkness at Noon.

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.
