David Kertzer, a Pulitzer Prize-winning author, will headline Drew University’s 2024 George and Alicia Karpati Lectureship with “World War II and the Holocaust: What the Vatican Did – and Didn’t Do.” The talk, to be streamed online, is set for Wednesday, April 3, at 7:30 p.m.

On the program, to be moderated by Drew University’s president, Dr. Hilary L. Link, Dr. Kertzer will discuss his latest book, “The Pope at War: The Secret History of Pius XII, Mussolini, and Hitler.” An instant New York Times bestseller, the book chronicles Pope Pius XII’s actions as World War II expanded across Europe and the Nazis began exterminating millions of Jews. Dr. Kertzer reveals how the pope set aside moral leadership to preserve the church’s power.

The program, hosted by Drew University, is free and open to the general public with the support of Michael and Noémi Neidorff, in honor of her parents. The George and Alicia Karpati Lectureship brings outstanding authors and scholars in Jewish studies, Eastern European history, and Holocaust studies to Drew University. Register at drew.edu/kertzer.
