GJC’s Men’s Club is pleased to welcome Stacy Gallin, founder and director of the Miamonides Institute for Medicine, who will deliver a presentation of the issues learned of medical ethics during the Holocaust and how it relates to decisions in response to the COVID pandemic. Circumstances that we often thought were plain and straightforward may not be.
Stacy Gallin earned her doctoral degree in Medical Humanities from Drew University in 2012, and subsequently taught courses on Bioethics and the Holocaust and Human Subject Research Ethics. Dr. Gallin founded MIMEH in 2015 as a way to transcend the generational, religious, geographical, and professional boundaries in Holocaust education and protect the legacy of those whose lives were changed irrevocably by the horrendous events that took place during the Holocaust. Dr. Gallin is the Director of the Center for Human Dignity in Bioethics, Health, and the Holocaust at Misericordia University, the Co-Chair of the Department of Bioethics and the Holocaust of the UNESCO Chair of Bioethics (Haifa) and the Medical Ethics Project Liaison for CANDLES Holocaust Museum and Education Center. In addition, she works closely with several national and internationally recognized organizations to raise awareness regarding the relevance of medicine, ethics and the Holocaust for modern medical practice, healthcare policy and human rights endeavors.
