The Holocaust & Human Rights Education Center and Iona College Kristallnacht Distinguished Lecturer: John K. Roth-“We Are in This World to Do Good: Ethics During and After the Holocaust”

He was named the 1988 U.S. National Professor of the Year by the Council for Advancement and Support of Education and the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and the Holocaust Educational Foundation’s Distinguished Achievement Award for Holocaust Studies and Research.
