In this TED talk, 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. Ben Dunlap is a true polymath, whose talents span poetry, opera, ballet, literature and administration and is currently the president of South Carolina�s Wofford College.
