Award-winning, best-selling historian Laurence Rees will be talking about his new book, ‘The Holocaust,’ at the IoE on 2 March, 2017. This landmark work seeks to answer two of the most fundamental questions in history – how, and why, did the Holocaust happen?

Laurence’s work combines over twenty-five years’ worth of previously unpublished eyewitness testimony, combined with the latest academic research, to produce the first accessible and authoritative account of the Holocaust in over three decades.

Laurence Rees is a former Head of BBC TV History and Creative Director of BBC Television History, for whom he wrote, directed and produced several award-winning series on the Nazis and the Second World War. He also wrote the companion books, including ‘Auschwitz,’ which won History Book of the Year at the British Book Awards and is the world’s bestselling history of the camp.
