    About Our Speaker:
    Professor Eric L. Muller  is a legal historian at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He is an award-winning teacher, has written award-winning books and created award-winning museum exhibits. Since 2011, Professor Muller has served as a faculty member with the Fellowships at Auschwitz for the Study of Professional Ethics, a program that fosters development of young professionals through a deep encounter with the culpability of German professionals for the development and implementation of the Nazi state between 1933 and 1945. In 2018, he became the organization’s Academic Director. Professor Muller's research dives into the underpinnings behind the roles of German professionals in perpetrating the Holocaust as well as the mass removal and imprisonment of Japanese Americans in World War II.
