"Talking and Writing About the Holocaust," Apr. 8 (W) at 3:30pm

[Daniel Lake]

 *The Institute for Ethics in Public Life invites you to join us for
"Talking and Writing About the Holocaust" with special guest Stuart Brody
(Senior Scholar at the Institute) on Wednesday, April 8, at 3:30pm
in-person and on Zoom.*

What are the issues we confront when we talk and write about the Holocaust?
This is not a simple question, in part due to cultural and political
differences between Israeli Jews and American Jews.  Conventional wisdom
presents a picture of identity between Jews of the US and those of Israel,
yet the culture is actually vastly different starting with the immediacy of
the Holocaust in the lives of Israeli vs. American Jews. The discussion
will explore this and a variety of cultural differences that yield
cleavages in the two populations even though they ultimately are tied
together.

Stuart Brody, Esq., has been involved with the Institute for Ethics in
Public Life for over 15 years and is a member of the inaugural group of
Senior Scholars. He is the author of Humphrey and Me (2023), for which he
won the Grateful American Book prize for historical fiction (2024). He is
also the author of The Law of Small Things: Creating a Habit of Integrity
in a Culture of Mistrust (Penguin Random House, 2019). He is also an
Adjunct Instructor at the University of Arizona in the School of Government
and Public Policy.

Please join us in person in the Thomas Moran Seminar Room of the Institute
for Ethics in Public Life (Hawkins 233) or on Zoom (see below).
