William H. Donat Shoah Commemoration: Distinguished Lecture, Andrew Nagorski

Annual Commemoration to Feature Award-Winning Journalist and Author

Andrew Nagorski spent more than three decades as a foreign correspondent and editor for Newsweek. From 2008 to April 2014, he was vice-president and director of public policy for the EastWest Institute, an international affairs think tank. Both of his more recent books - Hitlerland: American Eyewitnesses to the Nazi Rise to Power (Simon & Schuster, 2012) and The Nazi Hunters (Simon & Schuster, 2016) - have received critical acclaim.

Mr. Nagorski is also the author of the non-fiction books:  Reluctant Farewell:  An American Reporter's Candid Look Inside the Soviet Union (New Republic/Henry Holt, 1985); The Birth of Freedom: Shaping Lives and Societies in the New Eastern Europe (Simon & Schuster, 1993); and The Greatest Battle: Stalin, Hitler, and the Desperate Struggle for Moscow That Changed the Course of World War II (Simon & Schuster, 2007).  The New York Review of Books described The Greatest Battle  "as a new and beautifully researched account of what had been a poorly understood part of the war."
