December 1, 2021, 6-8 pm, West Village F20. A collaboration between the Holocaust and Genocide Awareness Committee and the Fall 2021 Open Classroom will bring Menachem Kaiser, author of Plunder: A Memoir of Family Property and Nazi Treasure together in conversation with University Distinguished Professor of Law and Director, Civil Rights and Restorative Justice Project at Northeastern University Margaret Burnham. What does reparation and justice look like for surviving generations of families with brutal histories who experienced immeasurable losses? Are there lessons to be learned from the German reparations that Holocaust survivors received?
