Eric Leigh Muller (born September 5, 1962) is the Dan K. Moore Distinguished Professor in Jurisprudence and Ethics at the University of North Carolina School of Law.
Colors of Confinement features some 60 extremely rare Kodachrome images of ordinary life behind the barbed wire of the Heart Mountain Relocation Center in northwest Wyoming, where the War Relocation Authority confined some 14,000 Japanese resident aliens and Japanese Americans between 1942 and 1945 on account of their ancestry.
[1] His most recent book is Lawyer, Jailer, Ally, Foe: Complicity and Conscience in America's World War II Concentration Camps, published by the University of North Carolina Press in 2023.
Muller is a blogger; his blogging activities have included periodic posts about his search for information about the life and death of his great-uncle Leopold Müller, a Jew from the town of Bad Kissingen in Germany whom the Nazis deported to his death from Würzburg in April 1942,[2] as well as a detailed critique of Michelle Malkin's book In Defense of Internment, which defended internment of American citizens of Japanese ancestry during World War II.
[3] Muller is a member of the faculty of the Fellowships at Auschwitz for the Study of Professional Ethics, a 12-day traveling seminar run by the Museum of Jewish Heritage that takes law students to Germany and Poland to study professional and ethical formation through the lens of the roles lawyers and judges played in the Holocaust.
