Guests: Leonard Downie Jr. and Harry Rosenfeld
Leonard Downie Jr., former executive editor of The Washington Post, interviews former Washington Post and New York Herald Tribune editor Harry Rosenfeld on his new book, "From Kristallnacht to Watergate: Memoirs of a Newspaperman."
In the book, Rosenfeld chronicles his journey from boyhood in Hitler's Berlin to a career that included working at two of the greatest American newspapers of the 20th century. At the Post, Rosenfeld was a key figure in overseeing the breaking of the Watergate scandal — managing the work of Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein that won the Pulitzer Prize.
Rosenfeld will discuss his childhood in Berlin, where on Kristallnacht, he witnessed the burning of his synagogue and walked through streets littered with the shattered glass of Jewish businesses. He will also talk about how those experiences influenced his life as a newspaperman.
Rosenfeld is editor at large and a consultant at the Times Union in Albany, N.Y., where he is also a member of the paper's editorial board.
Downie, who worked as Rosenfeld's deputy during Watergate, served as the Post's executive editor from 1991 to 2008. He is currently the newspaper's vice president at large.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
