Forgotten History: Germany's Refugee Crisis after WWII

Friday 19th May 19:00 - 20:30 at Waterstones London - Piccadilly

Join novelist Meike Ziervogel in conversation with broadcaster Rosie Goldsmith and Professor of German Studies at UCL Stefanie Bird.

Inspired by the author's family history, The Photographer celebrates how humanity can thrive against all the odds. Set at the end of the Second World War, when 11 million Germans fled from east to west, the novel explores love and survival in a time of mass migration.
