We are thrilled to announce an extraordinary event at the Oyster Bay Historical Society! Please join us on Saturday, February 1, 2025, at 1 PM, for an engaging discussion with Mark Torres, author of a compelling new book that unravels the dark history of the eugenics movement in early 20th-century America.

In his work, Long Island and the Legacy of Eugenics: Station of Intolerance, Mark Torres delves into the origins of eugenics, tracing its roots to the Eugenics Record Office in Cold Spring Harbor, New York. This unassuming facility, led by Charles Benedict Davenport, became the epicenter of a movement that resulted in forced sterilizations, restrictive immigration laws, and atrocities that echoed globally. Torres brings to light the local influences, key figures, and far-reaching consequences of this chilling chapter in history, including its inspiration for the N**i regime's heinous acts.

This event promises to be both enlightening and thought-provoking, offering insights into a little-known but profoundly impactful aspect of history.

Requested Donation:
$15 for members
$20 for non-members

Don’t miss this opportunity to hear from Mark Torres as he uncovers the truth behind a movement that shaped history in unsettling ways. We look forward to seeing you there!
