The life-long learner

Wofford College president Bernie Dunlap tells the story of Sandor Teszler, a Hungarian Holocaust survivor who taught him about passionate living and lifelong learning.

A Holocaust survivor who rebuilt his life in America transformed not only industries but the hearts of a divided South through bold acts and boundless learning. His life, marked by invention, forgiveness, and the integration of a segregated textile mill, exemplifies resilience and moral courage. Even after enduring brutality, he insisted human beings are fundamentally good, inspiring those around him to seek wisdom and nurture curiosity despite adversity.
