What are You Reading? What are You Writing? ep. 315 with Richard Jay Hutto

Award-winning mystery and suspense novelist Karen E. Osborne welcomes historian and author Richard Jay Hutto, who brings to life the extraordinary true story of Muriel Seherr-Thoss in his award-winning book The Countess and The Nazis. Drawing on never-before-published memoirs and declassified CIA documents, Hutto uncovers Muriel’s journey from privileged aristocratic circles to acts of quiet resistance against the rise of Nazism. Moving among Europe’s elite as the daughter of an American diplomat and wife to a Prussian count, Muriel ultimately risked everything, helping Jewish families escape and protecting her children in the face of Hitler’s regime. Karen and Richard discuss the book’s premise, the extensive research behind it, and how history reveals both the complexity and courage of individuals in times of moral crisis.
