On this episode of The Jewish Road Podcast:

We discuss the importance of remembering the Holocaust in the face of a history that is quickly being erased and how we are being threatened again as a people to be destroyed from the face of the earth.

We begin by reflecting on the stories of Holocaust survivors and the Jewish people’s fierce determination to remember the names of those whose lives were lost, not just the 6 million Jews, but the entire 11 million slaughtered by the Nazi regime because they did not fit their mold. No doubt, for those who have experienced the loss, the Holocaust has had such a profound impact on our people. Unfortunately, there are more alive today who don’t know it even exists.

Whether it is ignorance or denial, we look at the ways in which some people have tried to erase the Holocaust from history. We discuss the challenge of educating younger generations about the Holocaust, especially as fewer survivors still share their stories.

Despite these challenges, we also focus on the resilience and determination of the Jewish people, who have persisted in keeping the memory of the Holocaust alive despite attempts to silence them. We explore the ways in which Jewish communities worldwide have come together to preserve the memory of those lost in the Holocaust, and to honor their legacy.

Overall, this episode is a powerful reminder of the importance of remembering the Holocaust, especially in the face of ignorance and denial. We hope it will inspire our listeners to take action and join us in the fight against intolerance and hate, as we strive to build a better future for all people.
