200 years ago, on July 16, 1918 Czar Nicholas II and his family are executed in Ekaterinburg, Russia by the Bolsheviks. Join us at the Prospect Heights Public Library on Wednesday, August 15 at 7 pm as we discuss the book "Last Days of the Romanovs: Tragedy at Ekaterinburg by Helen Rappaport. This book gives a moment by moment account of the last thirteen days of the Russian Imperial family's lives, including their imprisonment before they are assassinated. It also covers the political plots of those who were out to save or destroy them.

Professor Thomas Kirchner from Harper College will facilitate our discussion.
