Jonathan Freedland is a Guardian columnist, broadcaster, and author of the widely acclaimed book The Escape Artist which tells the remarkable story of Rudolf Vrba and fellow inmate Alfred Wetzler who became the very first Jews to successfully escape Auschwitz.
On October 22, he comes to the Intelligence Squared stage to discuss his new book, The Traitors Circle, an astonishing story from the same era. This is a story of a group of rebels within Germany who had secretly opposed the Nazi regime for the best part of a decade, operating in the shadows, performing perilous acts of resistance, saving lives. It is also the story of their betrayal.
Join us live at the Kiln Theatre as Freedland uncovers this almost forgotten story of resistance, bravery and its profound message about choosing to stand up to tyranny, which has a deep moral resonance for our own time.
Praise for The Traitor’s Circle:
‘An astonishing true story of courage, love and betrayal, told with the verve of a thriller.
Freedland is a master at weaving spellbinding entertainments drawn from forgotten corners of history’ – Mick Herron.
