Silvers Annual Lecture on Holocaust, Genocide, and Contemporary Bioethics 2024: "The Value of Bioethics and the Holocaust for Medical Education"

Our guest lecturer, Stacy Gallin, DMH, is the Founder and Director of the Benjamin Ferencz Institute for Ethics, Human Rights and the Holocaust (formerly the Maimonides Institute for Medicine, Ethics and the Holocaust). Dr. Gallin founded Athletes Against Antisemitism and Discrimination in July 2023 as a way to engage athletes—both at the student level and beyond—and empower them to use their platform to help raise awareness regarding the Holocaust, antisemitism and other forms of identity-based hate. She is a contributing editor for the Globe Post and the Times of Israel, where she writes about issues related to ethics, law, public policy and human rights through the lens of the Holocaust. She also teaches an international course on ethics, human rights and the Holocaust through the Global Network for Medical, Health Professions and Bioethics Education, of which she is the Co-Chair of Education.

Information about the Silvers Annual Lecture on Holocaust, Genocide, & Contemporary Bioethics: The Silvers lectureship addresses bioethical issues raised by the Holocaust and other cases of genocide. Funding for this lectureship was provided by Dr. William S. Silvers, a graduate of IU School of Medicine and a faculty member for over 30 years at University of Colorado School of Medicine. The purpose of the Silvers Lectureship is to offer space annually for physicians and other community leaders to consider the impact of their work and apply the ethical lessons of the Holocaust. The lectureship strives to focus healthcare workers on the morality of their actions and to ground contemporary conflicts in the lessons of history.
