Amos Guiora at Northeastern University School of Law

March 25, 2019

On March 25, Professor Amos Guiora will speak at Northeastern University School of Law. He will discuss issues and arguments from his internationally acclaimed book The Crime of Complicity: The Bystander in the Holocaust. He is a Professor of Law at the University of Utah SJ Quinney College of Law and is a retired lieutenant colonel in the Israel Defense Forces. As the son of two Holocaust survivors, he became interested in the historical consequences of bystanders, and brings the issue into current perspective. His accomplishments include being asked to discuss his recent book The Crime of Complicity at Wannsee Villa, the very site where the German government ratified the plan for the Final Solution. He has also been invited by the German military to train commanders on issues relevant to “orality in armed conflict,” perhaps most ironic given his family’s history. He has recently been published in the Washington Post discussing the German government’s role in combating its country’s new wave of anti-Semitism.
