Professor Lawrence Douglas will discuss his new book The Right Wrong Man: John Demjanjuk and the Last Great Nazi War Crimes Trial. 

In 2009, Harper's Magazine sent war-crimes expert Lawrence Douglas to Munich to cover the last chapter of the lengthiest case ever to arise from the Holocaust: the trial of eighty-nine-year-old John Demjanjuk. An award-winning novelist as well as legal scholar, Douglas offers a compulsively readable history of Demjanjuk's bizarre case. The Right Wrong Man is both a gripping eyewitness account of the last major Holocaust trial to galvanize world attention and a vital meditation on the law's effort to bring legal closure to the most horrific chapter in modern history.

Can't make it to this event? Professor Douglas will also give a public talk on Thursday, February 4 at 7:00 p.m. at the Center for Jewish History on 15 West 16th Street, New York, NY 10011.
