In 1990, new information set off a remarkable Department of Justice search to find a group of Nazi collaborators who had been living anonymously in the United States since the end of World War II. Pulitzer-prize winning journalist Debbie Cenziper’s latest work tells the story of this hunt, and of the historians and lawyers determined to hold the collaborators, known as the “Trawniki men,” accountable. In Citizen 865, Cenziper, the new head of investigative journalism at Northwestern’s Medill School of Journalism, provides an antidote to today’s rising tide of intolerance with an inspirational tale of Americans standing up to hatred and rooting it out.
