Best-selling author Timothy Snyder, an award-winning historian of Europe and genocide, will visit Northern Illinois University to deliver the ninth annual installment of the W. Bruce Lincoln Endowed Lecture Series.

Snyder, the Housum Professor of History at Yale University, will begin his talk at 7 p.m. Sept. 19 in the Altgeld Hall Auditorium. His presentation is titled, “Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin,” and is based on his recent best-selling book of the same title.

Free and open to the public, the lecture is sponsored by the NIU Department of History and the W. Bruce Lincoln Endowment.
