Dr. Waitman Beorn spoke to students at St. Christopher's today discussing ethics and genocide. The newly appointed Virginia Holocaust Museum executive director shared personal experiences as a cavalry officer who served in Iraq and provided inspiration to stand up for what's right. When the next act of genocide takes place, we must choose who we will be, Dr. Beorn said. “Will we watch the the synogogues burn or will we stop the evildoers at the door?" he questioned. "We must already have built our ethical muscle in the small moments before we can flex it in the big ones. We must take the time to think and choose the more ethical path even when events seem to be overtaking us, and we must realize that inaction is a form of action, and that we are defined by what we do, in the face of genocide, not by what we say.”
