Prof. Amos Guiora to Address LDB Law Students in Chicago

On October 29th, the LDB chapter at Loyola University of Chicago School of Law will host Professor Amos N. Guiora; and on October 30th, the LDB Chapter at Chicago-Kent College of Law will host Prof. Guiora, to discuss issues and arguments from his internationally acclaimed book The Crime of Complicity. 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.
