ANDREA PITZER on One Long Night: A Global History of Concentration Camps

September 26, 2017 | 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Free

Harvard Book Store and the Nieman Foundation welcome Nieman Storyboard founder ANDREA PITZER—author of The Secret History of Vladimir Nabokov—for a discussion of her latest book, One Long Night: A Global History of Concentration Camps.

In this harrowing work based on archival records and interviews during travel to four continents, PITZER reveals for the first time the chronological and geopolitical history of concentration camps.  Beginning with 1890’s Cuba, she pinpoints concentration camps around the world and across decades.  Often justified as a measure to protect a nation, or even the interned groups themselves, camps have instead served as brutal and dehumanizing sites that have claimed the lives of millions.

This event is not ticketed.

One Long Night will be on sale at the event for 20% off.
