2025 Murray Pantirer Memorial Scholar Lecture
Tuesday, December 2, 2025 at 7:00pm EST in STEM Auditorium - Kean University
Rachel Deblinger, Ph.D., will be speaking about her book, Saving Our Survivors: How American Jews Learned About the Holocaust. Drawing on previously unexamined archives and postwar cultural materials, Saving Our Survivors invites readers to explore how American Jews constructed meaning out of devastation—and how humanitarian aid became intertwined with public memory. The book also raises larger questions about how historical tragedies are narrated in moments of crisis, and how stories influence the will to act.
