  1. I had the honor of being a student in Professor Pearlman’s class on The Holocaust when I attended URI. I still have and treasure the class notes from those years ago; I recall he told the class of his adventures in the Peace Corps, seeking shelter in unexpected places at night in Africa; it prompted a poem which I shared with him; more importantly, I share what I learned from his amazing class, with students and others, about how Ordinary Men can become blind followers of authority to give rise to what is unspeakable; I am grateful to have been taught at the feet of Professor Pearlman.
    Job 14:7-15 -until then, sending comfort and care to his dear family.

  2. Sandro, moje kondolencje. Życzę te długiego, dobrego życia. Proszę o kontakt jeśli chcesz.

  3. This is the first I’ve heard of Dan’s passing. Any words from me now are long overdue, and there is too much to say that cannot be written here. Sandy, are you there? I can be reached at [email protected]
