DESCRIPTION:DEADLY CHOICES: How a Dutch Family Fought Its Nazi Occupiers, 
 1940-1945In 2024, Springs resident John Tepper Marlin told an enthusiastic
  group in the East Hampton Library the epic story of the Dutch Resistance 
 leader Walraven (“Wally") van Hall. The book, Under Nazi Noses, was
  awarded a starred review by Kirkus Reviews, which named it in 2025 “one
  of the 100 Best Indie Books of 2024.” It won the Silver Award from the 
 Independent Book Publishers Association for 2024 Books in History. Ingram 
 Spark ranked it #1 in sales for True Crime Heists and Robberies. It was an
  “Editors’ Pick” by Booklife/Publishers Weekly.On May 28, 2026, at 6
  p.m., Dr. Marlin will again speak to the East Hampton Library, this time 
 about his new book telling the story of the family connections on which Wa
 lly van Hall relied to carry out his daring plan—he stole hundreds of mi
 llions of dollars from the Dutch State Bank to support tens of thousands o
 f people hiding from the Nazis, including many on strike.The new book expl
 ores in depth the pressures on the Dutch people during the Nazi occupation
 , drawing on hundreds of wartime letters left to the author by his Dutch-b
 orn mother, Hilda van Stockum Marlin, when she died in 2006. They starkly 
 reveal the steps Hitler took to intimidate Dutch people and kill his perce
 ived enemies.This is a hybrid talk that will be presented in person, as we
 ll as over Zoom. Individuals interested in attending virtually will receiv
 e the Zoom link by email.Dr. Marlin is a 1962 Harvard graduate. He served 
 as Chief Economist in the New York City administrations of Mayors Dinkins,
  Giuliani, and Bloomberg, and in Washington, D.C., served as an economist 
 under Presidents Johnson, Nixon, Obama, and Trump.
