Biography
Bernstein was born in 1960 in Harvey, Illinois. He earned a BA in Film Studies/Theater from Southern Illinois University and an MA from the Integrated Writing Program at Columbia College Chicago.[1]
Bernstein has published multiple books on the topics of Chicago History, United States History, and Nazi History. He has been interviewed by the New York Times, The Christian Science Monitor, the Chicago Tribune, and many others. He has given speeches and served on panels at numerous universities and museums and has been honored with grants and awards for his writing.[2]
Bernstein was motivated to write about Jewish history after a group of neo-fascists threatened to march in his largely Jewish neighborhood while he was in high school. This event influenced the author to write Swastika Nation, which deals with American Nazism.[3]
