The Crime of Complicity:
The Bystander in the Holocaust
Amos N. Guiora
Thursday, April 27 * 7 pm * BJC
If you are a bystander and witness a crime, should intervention to prevent that crime be a legal obligation? Or is moral responsibility enough?
Amos N. Guiora addresses these profound questions and the bystander-victim
relationship from a deeply personal and legal perspective, focusing on the Holocaust and then exploring cases in contemporary society. He shares the experiences of his parents and grandparents during the Holocaust and examines sexual assault cases at Vanderbilt and Stanford and other crimes where bystanders chose not to intervene. Guiora recommends that we must make the obligation to intervene the law, and thus non-intervention a crime.
Free and open to the public. Co-sponsored by Forest Hill Presbyterian Church, Facing History and Ourselves and AJC.
