Fred Litwin's book, I Was a Teenage JFK Conspiracy Freak" (2018), may be found here in the Museum's Library Collection: Bibliovation | Details for I was a teenage JFK conspiracy freak / Fred Litwin. Since this oral history was recorded, Mr. Litwin has published two follow-up books, On the Trail of Delusion: Jim Garrison: The Great Accuser (2020) and Oliver Stone's Film-Flam: The Demagogue of Dealey Plaza (2023). - Stephen Fagin, Curator
I remember this oral history vividly because it was the last one recorded prior to the COVID-19 pandemic that closed The Sixth Floor Museum for more than six months. In fact, the Museum closed just over a week after Mr. Litwin's visit in early March 2020. I did not record another onsite interview in the Museum's familiar black-curtain studio space for nearly two and a half years (until July 2022). In the interim, oral histories were exclusively recorded via Zoom, telephone and, on rare occasion, in larger open spaces at the Museum. - Stephen Fagin, Curator
