This is the rescheduled 2025 Alfred Wiener Holocaust Memorial Lecture. Professor Mary Fulbrook will explore experiences of hiding and help during the Holocaust across Europe, including the German Reich itself, to highlight the significance of surrounding societies for the survival of Jews.

Drawing from her book Stolen Legacies, author and prosecutor Adena J. Bernstein explores how restitution processes frequently placed impossible burdens on those who had already lost everything. Through powerful case studies and family stories, this program examines the emotional, legal, and moral dimensions of recovery, asking what justice can mean decades after genocide.
