Dr. Michael Berenbaum is a Rabbi, writer, lecturer, and teacher consulting in the conceptual development of museums and the development of historical films.

The Schleunes Lecture is presented annually through the generosity of Richard and Jane Levy of Greensboro in honor of the eminent Holocaust scholar Dr. Karl Schleunes of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.

The series is dedicated to providing opportunities for area residents and students to hear nationally and internationally recognized experts present their research on the Holocaust and on issues related to genocides.
