Article Discussion

Monuments to the Unthinkable

Library staff facilitate a discussion of a thought-provoking article.

In Clint Smith's December 2022 Atlantic cover story, "Monuments to the Unthinkable," Smith reports from Germany on what the U.S. can learn about atonement and public memory, “specifically how people, communities, and nations should account for the crimes of their past.”

Read or listen to the article at The Atlantic, and come with questions, impressions, and curiosity to share.

This is a hybrid event with the option to participate in person or on Zoom. Online participants will receive the Zoom link in their confirmation email.
