Join the Green School for a conversation with author Alex Storozynski as he discusses his powerful memoir, Spies In My Blood. This true story follows two brothers raised in New York by World War II exiles, each embarking on a separate mission to infiltrate the Communist secret police in Poland and uncover the truth about their family's legacy of soldiers, spies and assassins. Storozynski recounts his own journey behind the Iron Curtain, where his investigative work on Polish dissidents led to him being declared an "enemy of the state." Spies In My Blood offers a compelling exploration of the untold atrocities of World War II and the Cold War, and the urgent lessons history provides to prevent repeating its darkest moments. This event is part of the Blanka Rosenstiel Lecture Series on Poland.
