The Reaction Podcast is back. Host Iain Martin sits down with his friend and Times colleague Daniel Finkelstein to talk about his landmark new book, Hitler, Stalin, Mum and Dad: A Family Memoir of Miraculous Survival.

They discuss how the Second World War changed Finkelstein’s family forever. From the fascism of the Third Reich to Soviet totalitarianism, Finkelstein uses his family’s history to tell a heartbreaking but redemptive tale that warns of the dangers of political extremism.
