“Now, as then, mass displacement of people has led to global humanitarian and military mobilization, often requiring coordination between the two,” writes Professor Magda Teter in the New York Review of Books. “The stories [the books] tell remind us how much our world is an heir to the violent legacy of World War I.” (watch our discussion here)

“Granick illus­trates how the destruc­tion wreaked by World War I was trans­for­ma­tive, not only in the annals of Jew­ish his­to­ry, but also in the his­to­ry of human­i­tar­i­an activism,” remark the National Jewish Book Award judges. “This change was wrought by a group of actors, who Granick painstak­ing­ly brings to life with her nuanced under­stand­ing of archival doc­u­ments — as well as their silences.”
