In the wake of Hurricane Sandy, psychoanalyst Professor Gail Saltz sits down with neuroscientist Professor Kandel and witness-teacher-writer Professor Wiesel. Together, they examine the impact of personal memory, the challenges to veridical memory, and the tragedy of memory loss through a biological, psychological and philosophical lens. Professor Wiesel stresses the unique importance of the word Zakhor, remember, in the Bible and Jewish tradition and reflects that all of his nearly 60 books deal with memory. GS and EK discuss the need for many people to repress or forget painful memories through psychotherapy but Professor Wiesel prays for anything but forgetting and considers memories tantamount to a privilege. After the war, he chose Talmud study rather than therapy. His loyalty to his religion stems from a refusal to break the chain of his parents, grandparents and forefathers. Professor Wiesel calls this historical and hereditary memory; we believe that we too left Egypt at the time of the Exodus. Professor Wiesel is also aware that as a teacher and transmitter of memory, his memories have listeners and an afterlife. Acknowledging that all three speakers work towards a celebration of memory and mentioning his work as founder of the Holocaust Memorial Museum, Professor Wiesel asks: how can we make people remember things that they did not experience? The discussion on education leads to a consideration of cultured Nazis becoming murderers. EK and GS discuss how opportunism, social pressure and intimidation can turn anyone into a killer, but Professor Wiesel strongly disagrees saying that there is not an Eichmann in anyone: only Eichmann was Eichmann. Professor Wiesel reaffirms that nothing can replace memory; his religion is memory and that he hopes memory will bring people together and not divide them.
