On Sunday, October 11th, join us in-store with Dr. Gerald J. Steinacher for a discussion on his book, "Fascist Legacies: Far-Right Ideologies Then and Now." Steinacher is the James A. Rawley Professor of History at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and an internationally recognized scholar of modern European history. His research focuses on Holocaust and genocide studies, N**i Germany and Fascist Italy, antisemitism, and the politics of justice and accountability after war and dictatorship.

This author talk will be followed by a Q&A and signing. This discussion is incredibly pertinent to what's happening today.
