Charles W. Patterson is an American author, historian, and animal rights advocate, perhaps best known for his books, Eternal Treblinka: Our Treatment of Animals and the Holocaust, Anti-Semitism: The Road to the Holocaust and Beyond, Animal Rights, The Civil Rights Movement, and Marian Anderson.
He is an active member of the Authors Guild, PEN, and The National Writers Union.
He follows a vegetarian lifestyle, and believes that vegetarianism can reduce violence in humans. In a protest against Columbia University's animal cruelty, Patterson returned his doctorate to the president of the university. He believed that innocent lives had greater importance than a piece of paper.
Patterson is active in the Vegetarian Community, and was a guest speaker at the 2015 Veggie Pride Parade in New York City.
His greatest fantasy is for all slaughterhouses to end their killing.
He currently lives in the Upper West side of New York, New York. Wikipedia
