The Fleischner Lecture
Holocaust Scholar Eva Fleischner
Dr. Eva Fleischner (1925-2020) was an accomplished and distinguished Holocaust scholar. For many years, Dr. Fleischner was deeply involved in our Center. She was a long-time member of our advisory board, and spoke often at our conferences. In addition, Dr. Fleischner received our highest honor, the Nostra Aetate award, for her outstanding contributions to improving Jewish-Catholic relations.
Through their generous contributions, Dr. Fleischner and her family have endowed the Fleischner Lecture Series, which enables us to bring scholars to the ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ campus to discuss their research on the Holocaust, genocide and inter-religious understanding.
