Peter H. Fogtdal, author of "The Dreamer from Palestine" to present

Best-selling Danish author Peter H. Fogtdal will give a free presentation on “The Dreamer from Palestine,” at 7 p.m., March 31, in The Forum, Margre Henningson Durham Center on Dana College’s campus in Blair, Neb. The public is warmly invited to attend.

Fogtdal, a former television writer, is the author of many Danish books, but is best known for “The Dreamer from Palestine,” which is set during the rescue of Danish Jews in World War II. The book was a smash hit in Denmark in 1998–99, went through several editions and earned Fogtdal his first recognition as a “serious novelist.”

Fogtdal’s appearance at Dana is sponsored by The Danish Immigrant Museum in Elk Horn, Iowa, through a grant from Dennis Andersen of Atlanta, Ga., and support from Dana College.
