Who shall receive—and who shall pay?
What is proper justice for injustice?

For Slavery, Native Americans, Japanese Americans, Eugenics Victims, and many others. Famed constitutional and civil rights attorneys Nathan Lewin and Alan Dershowitz plus other voices join Edwin to begin untangling one of the thorniest and most crying issues of our day.

In 2033, will we be starving, thriving, or just scraping by? How will climate change, other chaos, and new technologies affect the way the world feeds itself?

Edwin Black visits Furman University to answer journalism students’ questions.

With 2.2 million books in print, he is the New York Times bestselling author of IBM and the Holocaust, Financing the Flames, The Transfer Agreement, and more. He has been recognized for his writing and human rights work with numerous awards, including the International Human Rights Award, the Moral Compass Award, the Justice for All Award, the Moral Courage Award, the Drum Major for Justice Award, a DLA Human Rights Citation, the AJC Integrity Award, the Carl Sandburg Award, the Smolar Award, multiple Rockower Awards, and a Special Michigan Legislative Human Rights Tribute.

Edwin Black brings brings an important part of the Holocaust to light: the Farhud (violent dispossession), two days of frightful violence, looting, and murder visited on the Jews of Baghdad and other Iraqi cities on Shauvot of 1941, June 1–2. Based on his book of the same name.

The Holocaust is often perceived as a primarily European phenomenon, and the travails of the Jews of the Middle East and North Africa are often forgotten. Project Witness is helping change that with its program for educators, “The Untold Plight: The Sephardic Communities in the Holocaust.”

We are on hiatus this week; we’ll be back on February 9 with an exploration of reparations.

Edwin, Carol, and Team Black wish everyone a Happy Tu BiShvat.

While we’re away, please enjoy this encore presentation of S2 E42, “Are There Any Good Wars?”

Edwin takes on some unanswered—and still burning—questions. Almost every episode, we run out of time before we run out of questions. We save them, and these episodes give us a chance to address topics such as current affairs, history, WWIII, antisemitism, energy, eugenics, and more. Edwin will also be accepting questions live via the Zoom Q&A. Join us for another no-holds-barred, nothing-off-the-table session.

For International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we honor those who fought back—partisans, ghetto fighters, camp saboteurs, boycotters, protestors, those in suits on streets, those with rifles in the woods. Jews did fight back. Holocaust scholars Sam Edelman and Carol Edelman join Edwin, as does Abe Foxman, who survived the Holocaust among the “Hidden Children.”

Edwin will also be accepting questions live via the Zoom Q&A. Join us for another no-holds-barred, nothing-off-the-table session.

Edwin Black brings the smoking-gun documents showing that IBM was a fully cooperating and enabling partner of the Third Reich in all six stages of the Holocaust—and connects the dots to the current worldwide upswell of antisemitism.

Tickets are available from the Gross Family Center; attendance is strictly limited to 500.

Where will the US and the world be a decade from now?

Who—or what—will control our lives and rule humanity?
