About MeI'm a social historian, author, editor, therapist, and teacher. My first book--Anti-Semitism: The Road to the Holocaust and Beyond--was called "important" by Publisher’s Weekly. "It can't be stressed enough how good a writer Charles Patterson is and what an excellent book he has produced," wrote Judaica Book News. "It deserves a place in every home, school and public library... excellent background reading in Jewish history and the history of western civilization." The National Council for the Social Studies in Washington, D.C. presented me with its Carter G. Woodson Book Award for my biography of Marian Anderson at a special luncheon at its annual convention in St. Louis, Missouri in 1989. My most recent books include The Oxford 50th Anniversary Book of the United Nations, The Civil Rights Movement, From Buchenwald to Carnegie Hall (co-author), Eternal Treblinka: Our Treatment of Animals and the Holocaust (13 languages), and the novel Last Rites. My new novel My Weekend in Hell will be published in 2009. I'm a graduate of Kent School, Amherst College, Episcopal Theological School, Columbia University (Ph.D.), and the Yad Vashem Institute for Holocaust Education in Jerusalem. I've taught courses in history, literature, and writing at New School University, Adelphi University and Hunter College in New York, as well at Manhattan private schools. Five of my books are now back in print through the Authors Guild Backinprint program--Anti-Semitism: The Road to the Holocaust and Beyond, Animal Rights, Hafiz al-Asad of Syria, Marian Anderson, and Thomas Jefferson. I live in New York City and am a member of The Authors Guild, PEN, and the National Writers Union. |
