The repercussions of World War II ripple through every generation that’s come since. Hundreds of books have been dedicated to its nuances and battles, yet there are still more stories to tell. Historian Michelle Young and novelist Jeffrey Richards discuss how they uncovered under-reported stories of WWII. Young gives us a true account of Rose Valland, the spy who secretly worked to stop Hitler from amassing stolen art for his future Führermuseum. Richards imagines a novel from the perspective of a young gay man imprisoned in the Nazi concentration camps. They’ll discuss how they approached their respective research, and compare notes about writing from the different lenses of fact and fiction.
