Laurel Leff Lecture: "News of the Holocaust: Why the Press Didn't Ask"
Today at 5:00 PM
Benton Hall 144, Oxford Campus

Laurel Leff is author of the first comprehensive study of how the U.S.
media reported the Holocaust. She discovered the fact that though news
stories were periodically getting out to the editors, newspaper owners
were killing the stories for many complicated reasons--but mostly to hide
the reality from the public. Her book, Buried by the Times: The Holocaust
and America's Most Important Newspaper, is scheduled to be published by
Cambridge University Press in early 2005.

Her essays concerning the New York Times' coverage of the Holocaust have
been published in the Harvard International Journal of Press Politics and
American Jewish History, where it won the Leo Wasserman Prize for best
essay of the year.
