Holocaust survivor Marian Turski warned us that Auschwitz did not emerge suddenly; it was the final outcome of countless, incremental assaults on human dignity, civil rights, and social norms. Beginning with the liberation of Auschwitz, this presentation moves backward in time to examine the moments that paved the way for the Holocaust. By tracing this reverse chronology, this program challenges audiences to recognize warning signs within their own societies and to reflect on the responsibilities of individuals and communities when confronted with injustice.
