Escaping the Nazis in WW2 Hungary, Romania's abortion ban, and a literary love affair.

Escaping the Nazis in WW2 Hungary, Romania's Cold War abortion ban, and a literary love affair.

How tens of thousands of Hungarian Jews escaped the Nazis by using false papers; what happened when abortion became illegal overnight in 1960s Romania; the murder of campaigning Nigerian journalist Dele Giwa; the creation of British satire magazine Private Eye; and the love affair between writers Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir.
