The biennial Holocaust Conference at our school, returning after the pandemic interruption, traditionally has been held in the big ballroom (The Tennessee Room) in our building. That's across the hall from my classrooms. It commences this morning, and I'd been looking forward to slipping over and catching some of it. Alas, they've moved to the newer bigger ballroom in the Student Union, on the other side of campus. Hope they plan to record it.
I haven't yet looked at Ken Burns' new Holocaust documentary. I will. There are crucial lessons to learn about a largely unacknowledged stain on American history and "the tragic human consequences of public indifference."
