Learn History Through Fiction: Operation Paperclip

After WW2, Congress refused to allow Germans in Displaced Persons (DP) camps to immigrate to the U.S., except for several thousand Nazi collaborators and scientists whose expertise could help us fight the cold war against the Soviets. The secret intelligence program was dubbed “Operation Paperclip.” History shows America failed to end WW2 sooner or admit those fleeing Nazi persecution. Read about a German Jewish family who tries to escape to the U.S. in the novel One Person’s Loss. Learn more about the book in NOVELS.
