The Nazi Titanic – Robert Watson: Join us for an author-led discussion about the tragic story of the SS Cap Arcona. Acclaimed author and speaker, Robert Watson, Ph.D., has published over 40 books and hundreds of scholarly articles, chapters, and essays on topics in history and politics. His book, The Nazi Titanic, tells how in the final days of the Second World War, the ship was packed with thousands of concentration camp prisoners who suffered in poor conditions as they waited for the end of the war. Just days before Germany surrendered, the ship was mistakenly bombed by the British Royal Air Force, and nearly all of the prisoners were killed. Books will be available for sale following the talk.
