The Nazi Hunters: Meet the Author with Neal Bascomb

November 12 at noon (CST)

Calling all history detectives! Join The National WWII Museum for a Meet the Author webinar about thrilling spy mission, a moving Holocaust story, and a first-class work of narrative nonfiction. A WWII Museum educator will interview Neal Bascomb about his young adult book, The Nazi Hunters: How a Team of Spies and Survivors Captured the World's Most Notorious Nazis. This interactive student webinar will allow students to learn the history of the end of World War II when Adolf Eichmann, the head of operations for the Nazis' Final Solution, walked into the mountains of Germany and vanished from view. Sixteen years later, an elite team of spies captured him at a bus stop in Argentina and smuggled him to Israel, resulting in one of the century's most important trials, one that cemented the Holocaust in the public imagination. Students will be able to ask Neal Bascomb about his research, writing, and learn about the war from The National WWII Museum during the program.

Appropriate for grades 9–12 or ages 14 and up.

Sponsored by Taube Philanthropies, the webinar is part of the Taube Family Holocaust Education Program.
