World War II and the Middle East with Gershom Gorenberg
Over two sessions based on his riveting new book, War of Shadows, author Gershom Gorenberg will uncover the least-known chapters of World War II and Holocaust history. Participants will gain a strikingly new view of the war — and of how it shaped the birth of Israel and the modern Middle East.

Gorenberg will discuss the significance of the Holocaust in the Middle East and North Africa.
February 16: The Forgotten Front: Secrets of Victory Against the Nazis in the Middle East
Relying on his recent findings and new scholarship, Gorenberg will guide participants through the long-secret evidence of the espionage affair that stopped the Axis at the gates of Egypt.
