A lyrical and poignant cautionary tale, The Hollow Bones brings to life one of the Nazi regime’s little-known villains through the eyes of the animals he destroyed and the wife he undermined in the name of science and cold ambition. Leah Kaminsky will discuss the crucial lessons we might learn from our recent history with Susan Wyndham.
