*Weekly Science Report*

*October 7, 2022*



*“How can we learn from the past, where did we go wrong. How can we not go
wrong the next time. And I think there is much we can be proud of in this
country. The episode of America and the Holocaust is not one that we down
to our credit.”*

Deborah Lipstadt
