On October 21, UROP named Michael Grodin an Outstanding Undergraduate Research Mentor at the 19th Annual Boston University Undergraduate Research Symposium, in recognition of the research he and Erin Miller have done at the intersection of Holocaust studies and medicine: public health.
Miller is assisting Grodin with the book Spiritual Resistance and Rabbinic Responsa During the Holocaust. In concentration camps and ghettos, religious Jews sought guidance from rabbis under horrific circumstances. How the rabbis formulated that guidance, from texts consulted or remembered to decisions made for their congregants’ mental and physical health, is the book's subject.
