Lester Glick was one of the 36 young men who signed up for the Minnesota Starvation Experiment. Unlike so many of his counterparts, Glick did not leave an oral history of his experience at the Library of Congress. This is the final episode of our look at the starvation experiment won by Ansel Keys during the Second World War. After listening to Revisionist History my podcast about things overlooked and misunderstood. Today I want to tell a story of Lester Glick, what happened to him after the experiment and how he made sense of all the suffering he'd been through.
