SWC Forum Series Presents:

Professor Thomas Weber, Department of History, University of Aberdeen (King's College)

Hitler's First War

Wednesday, October 13, 2010 at 6:30pm

We are pleased to welcome Professor Weber to discuss his recently released book, Hitler’s First War.  Perhaps no individual in modern history has received more intensive study than Adolf Hitler. His many biographers have provided countless conflicting interpretations of his dark life, but virtually all agree on one thing: Hitler's formative experience was his service in World War I. Unfortunately, historians have found little to illuminate this critical period. Until now.

$20 per person (Students with ID free of charge)

Reception to follow. 

Dr. Weber will also sign copies of his book
(available for purchase).

For security purposes, reservations must be
made in advance

Please respond no later than October 12

To RSVP or for more information, please contact Dr. Michelle Hartman, Director of Operations and Community Affairs, at 212-697-1293 or via email at mhartman@wiesenthal.com
