Authors David Wyman and Rafael Medoff discussed their book A Race Against Death: Peter Bergson, America and the Holocaust, published by The New Press. Through a 12-hour interview with Peter Bergson, the authors document the campaign led by Peter Bergson, a Zionist activist and American immigrant during World War II, to inform the U.S. Government, media establishment, and American public of Nazi violence against European Jews. The authors are joined in the discussion by fellow biographers David Nasaw and Blanche Wiesen-Cook. After their discussion the panelists answered questions from members of the audience.
