Michael Moritz: why we can't outrun our own history

About this episode

Michael Moritz, a former journalist, became one of Silicon Valley's most successful investors — and a philanthropist who has quietly backed the Booker Prize and San Francisco journalism. Yet he never escaped the terror of his family's past. The longtime Sequoia Capital leader's new book, " Ausländer ," traces how his family's flight from Nazi Germany echoes in the lives of descendants who never lived it.
