Evening Reception, Lecture and Book Signing with Historian and Author Dr. Ed Gordon

The economic and political conditions at the time of Hitler’s rise were key to enabling him to seize the reins of power in Germany. This program will particularly focus on how Hitler, with the help of Joseph Gobbels, masterfully turned a wide variety of mass media into a propaganda machine to win over the German people. The monstrous Nazi criminal regime continued its domination using terror, tyranny, and lies.

Edward E. Gordon is the author or co-author of 19 books in the fields of history, business, and education. He has been quoted in or written over 300 articles and has appeared on the CBS The Early Show, PBS News Hour, CNN, NBC, Bloomberg TV, WGN, NPR, and USA Radio.
