History

American Quakers, Unitarians, secular people, and Jews traveled around the globe to offer relief and to rescue victims of Nazi Germany and its allies. Who were these women and men, who became both saints and liars as they sought to save lives? How did they manage these feats? Debórah Dwork’s new book opens a window on the role of unpredictable and irrational factors on the ground, at particular moments, in shaping individual fates.
Professor Dwork’s book will be available for sale at the event.
