FASPE (Fellowships at
Auschwitz for the Study of Professional Ethics) is a fully-funded, two-week
summer program that uses the conduct of professionals in Nazi Germany as a
launching point and backdrop for an intensive study of contemporary
professional ethics. FASPE is predicated upon the power of place. Fellows visit
Auschwitz and other sites in Germany and Poland where they consider how to
apply the lessons of history to the ethical challenges they will face in their
careers.
