Princeton author Peter Lindenfeld is joined by Ingrid Reed, retired director of the New Jersey Project of Rutgers Eagleton Institute of Politics, for a conversation about his book.
From the publisher’s description: “It was a time of destruction of lives and futures and of rebirth and rebuilding. In his lively style with a wide sweep of insights Peter Lindenfeld recounts his personal and often intimate experiences, a microcosm of life during a time spanning nearly a century. The seemingly stable atmosphere of his childhood in Vienna is destroyed by the Anschluss, the annexation of Austria by Nazi Germany. The forced exodus leads him to North America, first to Vancouver, then to New York and a life that melds his original culture with that of his new environment, creating a richness — in science and music, and in intellectual and political life — that transcends both.”
Peter Lindenfeld is professor emeritus at Rutgers University’s Department of Physics and Astronomy.
