James Waller Lecture -- Queens - UNCC - ASU Program

Appalachian State's Center for Judaic, Holocaust, and Peace Studies, Queens University’s Greenspon Center for Peace and Social Justice, and UNCC’s Center for Holocaust, Genocide & Human Rights Studies invites the public to an online program with Prof. Jim Waller, the Cohen Professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Keene State College (New Hampshire). Prof. Waller will speak on“Becoming Evil: How Ordinary People Commit Genocide and Mass Murder,” also the title of one of his most influential and path-breaking studies. Based on an evolutionary perspective, Prof. Waller offers an equally intriguing and disturbing psychological view of how (almost) anyone can participate in genocidal crimes. The event also marks and commemorates the 76th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz camps by a division of the Red Army’s First Ukrainian Front in January of 1945.
