Ep 501: Education in Motion
In this powerful episode of Education in Motion, host Donna Rosenblum sits down with Dr. Howard A. Israel to explore a deeply unsettling and important intersection of medicine, history, and ethics.
Dr. Israel shares his journey from a young student in the Bronx to a leading oral and maxillofacial surgeon—and the shocking discovery that a trusted anatomy atlas he relied on for decades was created under Nazi influence. What follows is a gripping account of research, reckoning, and responsibility, as he confronts the moral implications of knowledge rooted in human suffering.
Together, Donna and Dr. Israel examine the role of the medical profession during the Holocaust, the dangers of silence and denial, and the ethical dilemmas that still resonate today. This conversation challenges listeners to think critically about history, accountability, and the value of human life.
A must-listen for educators, students, and anyone committed to understanding the past in order to shape a more humane future.
