We are incredibly proud of all she has accomplished and have no doubt that she will continue on to do amazing things.

The Center was so happy to host, in collaboration with Lehigh University’s Berman Center for Jewish Studies, a fantastic group of scholars, writers, and artists over the last two days at our "Never Always Again" workshop. It explored the history and meaning of “never again,” focusing on a central paradox: whether it is applied to a specific group or to all people, the phrase can unintentionally create the conditions for repetition rather than prevention.
