Visit the 2025 Educators’ Workshop page for more information.
Jack Fairweather is the author of a new biography of the remarkable German Jewish prosecutor Fritz Bauer, who brought the perpetrators of Auschwitz to justice and forced the world to reckon with the Holocaust at a time when the West German government was stacked with former Nazis bent on covering up the past.
The Prosecutor will be published by Penguin Random House at the end of the month, and he’s inviting our supporters to the launch event.
Jack will be sharing the story of Bauer's Cold War battle to lodge the Holocaust in our collective conscience with a multimedia presentation at Shelburne Town Hall on Monday, February 24, at 7 p.m., where the team at Flying Pig will be arranging a book-signing afterwards.
More about Fairweather: He is a former war reporter for The Daily Telegraph and The Washington Post, and the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Volunteer, which tells the story of Polish resistance fighter Witold Pilecki, who infiltrated Auschwitz to report on its crimes. The book won the Costa Prize and has been translated into 26 languages and compared to Schindler’s List.
He has dedicated his career to sharing the unsung stories of people like Pilecki and Bauer whose extraordinary courage can, he hopes, inspire the next generation to confront the forces of hate and denial.
For more information, see his Penguin Random House author’s page.
