The author of Courage and Compassion: A Jewish Boyhood in German-Occupied Greece, Molho, will discuss his early childhood in Greece during the German occupation, how his parents risked everything to hide him, and the ordinary people who selflessly protected his family.

He has written numerous books, and the Greek edition of his book Courage and Compassion was awarded the Ouranis Prize of the Academy of Athens.
Mark Mazower, Ira D. Wallach Professor of History, comments on international affairs and reviews books for the London Review of Booksand The New York Review of Books, amongst other publications. He co-created the film, Techniques of the Body, and his most recent book, The Greek Revolution: 1821 and the Making of Modern Europe, won the Duff Cooper Prize. He is the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Director of the Columbia Institute for Ideas and Imagination, a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and a Fellow of the British Academy.
