Steven J. Ross' new book, The Secret War Against Hate: American Resistance to Antisemitism and White Supremacy, is effective and chilling.
About this Event

If you haven't read Steven Ross' bestselling and Pulitzer finalist nonfiction book, Hitler in Los Angeles, you simply must. It's unforgettable and chilling as it takes us through jaw-dropping Nazi conspiracies and plots to M**der Jews en masse in Los Angeles during World War II.

Steven's new book, The Secret War Against Hate: American Resistance to Antisemitism and White Supremacy, is just as effective and chilling as Hitler in L.A. In The Secret War Against Hate, Steven chronicles the shocking rise of white supremacist terrorism against Jews and Blacks following WWII. Determined to "finish the job Hitler had begun," American Nazis and white supremacists launched deadly attacks against Jews and Blacks across the country.

Ross reveals the astonishing work of a small group of heroes: infiltration, monitoring, and ultimately sabotaging the efforts of these real post-war domestic terrorists. Steven is a Distinguished Professor of History at USC, and Director of the Casden Institute for the Study of the Jewish Role in American Life.

In conversation with Patt Morrison. Patt has more Emmys and Golden Mikes than any mantle can reasonably accommodate. She is an author, a columnist for the Los Angeles Times, a podcast host (Patt Morrison Asks), and an avid postcard collector. She is so entrenched in the best of L.A. culture that Pinks named a hot dog for her.

Limited parking onsite. We recommend rideshares and carpooling. Please allow time to find parking.
