Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Malcolm Hillgartner's voice lends a somber yet empathetic tone to the narration, making the listener feel deeply connected to these forgotten souls. His delivery is measured but never monotonous, ensuring that each story and detail comes across with the gravity it deserves. The narrative builds tension masterfully, alternating between moments of heartbreak and moments of quiet reflection, which keeps the listener engaged throughout. However, at times, the pacing can be a bit slow, potentially overwhelming for those seeking quick character development or plot twists. Despite this minor criticism, 'The Last Million' remains a profoundly moving and deeply researched audiobook that offers invaluable insight into post-war Europe’s forgotten refugees.
