Markovits's emigration experiences, first from Romania to Vienna and later from Vienna to New York, shed light on the challenges he faced. His journey offers a panoramic view of the forces shaping the latter half of the 20th century. Despite America's flaws, he finds it a beacon of academic excellence, intellectual openness, cultural diversity, and religious tolerance—qualities that Europe lacked.
