Telling the story of a passionate life: Ben Dunlap on TED.com

Sit back and listen, as Ben Dunlap tells the story of Sandor Teszler, a Hungarian man he met at Wofford College. In telling Teszler’s dramatic life story, which arcs from the Holocaust to the American Deep South of the 1950s, Dunlap shares some deep and, ultimately, moving lessons about justice — and the power of lifelong learning. (Recorded March 2007 in Monterey, California. Duration: 19:08.)

    This was a truly moving piece from Mr. Dunlap. Hopefully, everyone can learn a few things from the life of Sandor.
