Tom Bower

Making headlines around the world with his best-selling expose Nazi Gold: The Swiss, the Nazis and the Looted Billions, Tom Bower has presented the first fully documented account of the 50 year conspiracy that has allowed Swiss bankers to profit from the atrocities of the Holocaust. Putting a human face on the story, Bower has also chronicled the struggles of the Holocaust survivors and their families to reclaim the property confiscated decades ago, and the efforts of a small group of U.S. Treasury agents who fought against the powers of Europe to expose the truth.

A 27-year BBC veteran, Bower has gained worldwide renown as an expert on politics, finance, and the international intelligence community. He is an award-winning producer of over 200 television documentaries. In addition to Nazi Gold, his critically-acclaimed works include The Paperclip Conspiracy, The Red Web, The Perfect English Spy, Maxwell the Outsider and The Final Verdict.

Expanding on the revelations uncovered in Nazi Gold, Bower is able to re-create the drama of important and secret meetings and telephone conversations between individuals on all sides of the controversy - conversations that are astonishing in their candor and significance. Bower's words bridge 50 years of global history, exploding the myth of Swiss neutrality and bringing audiences face to face with a horrible legacy that many thought had perished with the Nazi defeat. His lecture is an important and moving program for any organization wishing to experience and understand the many political and ethical questions behind the headlines.
