Remembering Perry Brickman
The Tam Institute for Jewish Studies mourns the loss of Dr. Stanley “Perry” Brickman, a long-time friend and supporter of the Institute, who passed away in Atlanta on Jan. 26, 2025 at age 92. A beloved leader in the Atlanta Jewish community, Perry received international recognition over the past two decades for his courageous work uncovering and documenting the story of antisemitism in the former Emory University School of Dentistry, where he was among the many Jewish students who were dismissed unfairly during the years 1948-1961. Perry’s work ultimately led to a formal apology for this discrimination by Emory’s President James Wagner in 2012.
