About this Event
A Talk:
Alex Storozynski a Pulitzer Prize winning-journalist, author, filmmaker, President Emeritus & Chairman of Board of The Kosciuszko Foundation. His family survived Nazi slave labor camps and the Soviet Gulags. They fought back as soldiers, spies, and assassins. When Alex traveled behind the Iron Curtain to search for his roots, the Communists declared him an “enemy of the state” and banned him from Poland. There were three generations of undercover agents in the Storozynski household. Their stories are revealed in Spies In My Blood: Secrets of a Polish Family’s Fight Against Nazis & Communists.
