Professor Mona Sue Weissmark, a Harvard-trained psychologist, is the daughter of parents who survived the Auschwitz, Dachau, and Buchenwald concentration camps, and from whom she learned as a child the cruel fates of most of her extended family at the hands of the Nazis. Professor Weissmark will discuss her seminal study of Holocaust legacies. Professor Weissmark argues that, while legal systems offer a structured means for redressing injustice, they have rarely addressed the emotional pain, which left, unresolved, is then passed along to the next generation – leading to entrenched ethnic tension and group conflict. Holocaust legacies and the lessons they offer, have universal applications for any divided society resolved not to let the ghosts of the past determine the future.
