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. |
