Secrets of Our Fathers

Franks' My Father's Secret War

The Library Associates brought Pulitzer Prize-winning author and journalist Lucinda Franks to Georgetown University for a talk entitled Secrets of Our Fathers in late September. The author expounded on memories of her relationship with her father and on his secret life as a spy during World War II, the discovery of which inspired her book, My Father's Secret War. Ms. Franks recounted her father's assignments during the War, and closed her talk with a screening of an explicit and compelling testimony given by her father to the Holocaust Museum of New York. The film detailed the horrors he witnessed firsthand at one of the first concentration camps liberated by the Allies.
