Join the Holocaust Center Seattle for event one out of three in their America and the Holocaust series!

During World War II, The New York Times published over 1,800 detailed, timely stories about what was happening to Europe's Jews, almost all of which appeared inside the newspaper. Northeastern University Journalism Professor Laurel Leff will discuss why The Times decided to bury the story of the extermination of the Jews and how that fateful decision affected contemporary understandings of the cataclysmic event. 

Laurel Leff is Professor of Journalism and Associate Director of Jewish Studies at Northeastern University in Boston. Her book, Buried by The Times: The Holocaust and America’s Most Important Newspaper, was chosen as the Best Media History Book of 2005 by The American Journalism Historians’ Association and Best History Book of 2005 by ForeWord Reviews.
