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.
