The annual Rev. Bernie Clark, C.S.C., Lecture was created by the Center for Social Concerns in 2009 in order to highlight the issues and themes within the Catholic social tradition, and to inspire students to live out Fr. Bernie’s words of promoting social justice. The 2021 lecture featured David Silberklang, Ph.D., senior historian at the International Institute for Holocaust Research at Yad Vashem. The talk looked at the importance of Jews' efforts during the Holocaust to maintain human dignity and human life in the face of the overwhelming forces and impossible odds arrayed against them.
