The good news is I’ve sold my new book to @AAKnopf. The bad news is I now have a deadline to meet. (Thank you @CullmanNYPL & @cheneyagency.)
I spoke to @HajdTmea1 about my family, the Hungarian Holocaust, the book I am writing now, and the re-edition of my great uncle's seminal book of 1947 edited by @FerencLaczo, László Csősz & Kata Bohus. neokohn.hu/2022/05/30/what-w…
It is always an honor to speak to @mattcone2’s class about my book. Thanks for having me, and thanks to @CHSJaguars students for the terrific questions.
Thanks to the great @ninamunk for answering questions from @CHSJaguars students about her book, The Idealist. This book provoked important discussions in our class and it was a treat to speak with her.

This so reminds me of the megalomania that Jeffrey Sachs once brought to this whole game.
Might pick up this insanely brilliant book called 'The idealist' by @ninamunk, which cautiously & not so pessimistically tells us how the larger goals often get mired in personality wars.

“The disastrous merger of Time Warner and AOL epitomizes the culture of corporate America and Wall Street in the late 1990s where, as long as a company’s stock price kept going up and up, a CEO was all-powerful, like a king with a divine right.”

On May 5, at @Liberation_75 , the world's largest gathering of #Holocaust survivors & descendants, I will moderate a conversation between survivor Max Eisen and scholar @FerencLaczo. Virtual, free, and open to all. Register at Liberation75.org

Think @ninamunk (author of one of my favorite business books ever, "Fools Rush In," about AOL Time Warner) could write a good book about what's going on with GameStop, AMC, Nokia, etc.

Thank you @edwardrcarr. In my concision I didn't mention what I should have, which is that many expert observers saw the problems early on.
Ed was one of the earliest—> edwardrcarr.com/ewExternalFi…

I was so glad to be asked to write this profile. Great teachers deserve to be honored!

I was honored to serve as moderator for this important event. Thanks to #HEW2019 for inviting me.

I'm a tough reporter, many of my articles were highly critical, yet Graydon Carter never censored me nor discouraged me from writing exactly what I wanted. Again and again, when subjects complained that I was being too hard on them, Graydon came to my defense.
From this weekend’s @TorontoStar, my essay about my father, the Hungarian Judenrat, and the moral ambiguities of being a “privileged” Holocaust survivor.
In this excerpt from the preface of 'How It Happened' @ninamunk writes about her cousin Erno Munkacsi's testament to brutality and first-hand account of the Jews' moral dilemmas in wartime Hungary via @TorontoStar goo.gl/e9FkHN
Keen to know more about my new book? Read this!
With the new translation of Ernő Munkácsi’s How It Happened, @ninamunk + @LaczoF discuss the author's controversial role as a member of the Jewish Council, Hungary’s lingering denials of complicity in the Holocaust, and the relevancy today: goo.gl/mDTXfz
