The Nazis Next Door: How America Became a Safe Haven for Hitler’s Men
  • Date: Tuesday, January 20, 2015
  • Time: 5:00 pm
  • Location: William G. McGowan Theater, Washington, DC

Until recently, historians believed America gave asylum only to key Nazi scientists after World War II. But as Pulitzer Prize–winning author Eric Lichtblau explains in The Nazis Next Door, the CIA and FBI brought thousands of former Nazis to the United States as possible assets against their new Cold War enemies.
