I’m really looking forward to discussing “Our Nazi” with A MIGHTY BLAZE 📚🕯🔥 this fall!

"As a Holocaust educator, I’ve grappled with same questions Tim Walz explored—and that’s reassuring." Mike Soffer, author of OUR NAZI (Sep '24), published a thought-provoking piece with JTA | Jewish news this week: jta.org/2024/08/16/ide…

Great list from New York Times Books. I'll add "Our Nazi" by Mike Soffer & "The Chair and the Valley" by Banning Lyon. Excited to interview Mike & Banning on Sept 26 & Dec 5 respectively, on A MIGHTY BLAZE 📚🕯🔥's Debut Spotlight 22 Nonfiction Books to Read This Fall nytimes.com/2024/09/02/boo…

Excited to share this excerpt of “Our Nazi: An American Suburb’s Encounter with Evil,” my new book with UChicagoPress, in this month’s Chicago magazine!

Thanks Ellen Comisar 🇮🇱 🇺🇦 and A MIGHTY BLAZE 📚🕯🔥 for highlighting "Our Nazi" at your book party. I'm looking forward to talking with you about the book on September 26, and reading all of the other books on your list!

"Reinhold Kulle’s warm smile covered the dark secret he had closely guarded for over a decade." Mike Soffer Chicago magazine #longreads chicagomag.com/chicago-magazi…

“Our Nazi” highlighted in POLITICO! Thanks to UChicagoPress and Chicago magazine for sharing this history! The book is available on Amazon and from the Press.

This is a wild story and also a reflection that when confronted with evil way too many people want to rationalize it somehow chicagomag.com/chicago-magazi…

Thanks Ryan Lizza for listing "The Nazi of Oak Park" in Chicago magazine as one of your "great weekend reads"! I'm so excited for "Our Nazi: An American Suburb's Encounter with Evil" (UChicagoPress) to be fully released in early October!

Incredible piece by Chicago magazine about how my high school alma mater employed a former Nazi SS officer who worked at a concentration camp and, upon learning this information, kept him employed for another two years so he could receive his full pension. chicagomag.com/chicago-magazi…

Can't wait to talk about "Our Nazi" with Ellen Comisar 🇮🇱 🇺🇦 on Thursday at 2 ET / 1 CT. Come join us on A MIGHTY BLAZE 📚🕯🔥's youtube channel!
