On Monday, I’ll be in New York for the private screening of “Good Fortune — The Story of Morgenthau”, a full-length documentary on the Morgenthau Family.

Good Fortune tells the tale of Henry Morgenthau, Henry Morgenthau Jr. and Robert Morgenthau, and their service to the United States. I was honored to be interviewed for this production and hope my clips are used in the final version. I guess I’ll know tomorrow night.

The documentary is due to be broadcast on the Public Broadcast System later this year, and I will post the times and dates when I know more.

On Tuesday, I’ll be sitting down and talking to Robert Morgenthau, the former Attorney for Manhattan, about his father’s role in the Second World War. It will be a real privilege to meet Mr. Morgenthau, whose cases include the prosecution of Wall Street insiders, crime bosses, Bernard Goetz and the Central Park Rapist.

I’ve almost finished writing The Jew Who Defeated Hitler, and feel confident it will be published in the autumn of 2014. As a buildup to publication, I will be blogging regularly on this site. Please follow me on @peterdmoreira on Twitter or Peter Moreira on Google+. I’ve found far too much material to include in the book and plan to post some lively blogs here.
