About the SpeakerRosian Zerner was born in Kaunas (Kovno), Lithuania.
When Germany invaded Lithuania in 1941, Rosian and her family were
confined to the Kovno Ghetto. When she was six years old, her parents
helped her escape through a hole they had dug under the ghetto fence,
where she was met by her father's secretary. She was hidden by several
rescuers over the next three years before being liberated by the Soviet
troops in 1944.

Religion has played a role in genocides throughout history. It has
marked victim groups, disguised bystanders, influenced perpetrators, and
inspired upstanders. The moral charge put forth by many religions has
been embraced and ignored in equal measure.

Jacobs, Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Alabama; Dr. Timothy Longman, Professor of Political Science and International Relations at Boston University; and Dr. Kate E. Temoney, Assistant Professor of Religion at Montclair State University on the impact on and influence of religion in genocide.
