Please join us for a very special Breakfast and Learn with retired Bavarian judge Thomas Walther and Holocaust survivor Bill Glied, moderated by criminal Lawyer Edward Prutschi. 

Retired 71-year-old Bavarian judge Thomas Walther "hunts" Nazis, not by foot or by tank, but by making phone calls, writing emails, and documenting evidence from Holocaust survivors who can still remember what they saw. Once a Nazi is linked to murder and identified by the Office of Special Investigations in National Socialist Crimes, Walther uses his networks to get statements from the family members of victims, who are legally recognized as co-plaintiffs in modern court. Mr. Walther will be joined by Bill Glied, Holocaust survivor and plaintiff at two trials against SS officers who served at Auschwitz-Birkenau. 

 

A light breakfast will be served/Kashruth observed.

** This program is eligible toward the substantive component of the LSUC's annual CPD requirement.
