Join spiritual and faith leaders from around Oregon for this special conversation framed around Simon Wiesenthal's thought provoking book The Sunflower: On the Possibilities and Limitations of Forgiveness.

In the first half of the book Wiesenthal recounts his experiences in a Nazi concentration camp and what he did when asked for forgiveness by a dying SS soldier. In the second half of the book distinguished men and women from around the world offer their own reflections about whether or not Wiesenthal did the right thing in response to the dying man.

Rabbi Joshua Stampfer, Rabbi Emeritus of Congregation Neveh Shalom, will be joined by prominent leaders from other faith-based communities including Mary Jo Tully, Chancellor of the Archdiocese of Portland, Oregon; Linda Neale of the Earth & Spirit Council; and David Leslie, Executive Director of Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon.

This panel is presented in partnership with Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon, the Earth & Spirit Council, and the Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education and has been generously underwritten by Howard and Wendy Liebreich.

We especially thank the First United Methodist Church for hosting the panel discussion at 1838 SW Jefferson St.
