Bill Browder: Surviving Putin
Bill Browder | Chair: Daniel Ross
Can one man can take on a ruthless global leader - and win?
Financier Bill Browder was the largest foreign investor in Russia,
but the Moscow jail murder of his lawyer after uncovering a $230
million fraud by government officials sparked a fight for justice that
has made him number one both in the New York Times charts and
Vladimir Putin’s enemy list.
He follows Red Notice with Freezing Order: A True Story of Money
Laundering, Murder and Surviving Vladimir Putin’s Wrath, an
extraordinary insight into the exposing of corruption that prompted
Russia’s intervention in the 2016 US presidential election.

Joanna’s Story: Read by Janet Suzman
Sponsored by Edge Hill University
Joanna Millan, David Peimer, Janet Suzman | Chair: Trudy Gold
A three-year old child is found in Theresienstadt at the end of the
war with no memory of her past, her only words ‘dog’ and ‘soup’.
Brought to children’s homes in England with other survivors, she
was adopted under a new name and identity; her past was erased.
This is the story of how Joanna Millan reclaimed her life. Awardwinning playwright David Peimer created Joanna’s Story from hours
of testimony and Dame Janet Suzman reads its public debut. Then
all three join Holocaust educator Trudy Gold in discussion.
