About this listen
From the quiet hometown of Grampian, PA to the front lines of international journalism, Nora Waln’s life reads like an adventure novel. Writing for The Atlantic Monthly and The Saturday Evening Post, and living for years in China, she earned global respect as a published author—and then Adolf Hitler came knocking.
After seeing how well she wrote of China, he wanted a fawning portrait of Germany and his growing role in that country; yet she delivered only the truth, not the propaganda that Hitler expected. That act of courage forced her into a harrowing escape as the Nazis hunted down her friends and sources.
In this episode, we bring you the suspenseful, real‑life story of how Nora Waln stood up to and outwitted the most brutal regime in history—and why her voice still matters today.
