Saints and Liars: An Interview with Author Deborah Dwork

Long before their country joined the war, American aid workers undertook rescue efforts abroad.

Who were these women and men who sought to save lives?

Saints and Liars tells their stories and, exploring their experiences, illuminates the moral questions they encountered, the devastating decisions they had to make, and the role of unpredictable and irrational factors on the ground, at a particular moment, in shaping individual fates.

Dr. Debórah Dwork is the Director of the Center for the Study of the Holocaust, Genocide, and Crimes Against Humanity at the Graduate Center, City University of New York. She headed the first doctoral program devoted to Holocaust and genocide education and is a leading authority on university education in this field. Before Saints and Liars, Dr. Dwork authored a number of other books that weave the narrative of Holocaust survivors into history.

Arthur Berger will interview Dr. Dwork. He is the former Director of External Affairs and Communications at the US Holocaust Memorial Museum and a member of the TOLI Board of Directors.
