Podcasts about holocaust education

 In a follow-up to her recent conversation with Elizabeth SoRelle from the Texas Holocaust, Genocide and Antisemitism Advisory Commission (THGAAC), host Andrea Hutlock has a meaningful conversation with retired educator Claudia Loewenstein from the THGAAC Speakers Bureau, whose family history and classroom experience have shaped her passion for Holocaust education. As the daughter of Holocaust survivors, Claudia grew up hearing firsthand accounts of life in Nazi Germany and the devastating impact of antisemitism on families and communities. In this episode, she reflects on the responsibility she feels to share those stories with students across Texas and explains why personal narratives can make history feel immediate and real for young learners. Andrea and Claudia discuss the importance of helping students connect emotionally with historical events while creating space for thoughtful classroom conversations and deeper reflection. The episode also explores the role Holocaust speakers can play in Texas schools, the educational opportunities available through the THGAAC, and the importance of helping students understand Jewish culture as a living and continuing part of everyday life.

Holocaust education is required by law in dozens of American states — but the tools to teach it haven't kept pace with the students who need to receive it. Rabbi Michael Beyo and Dr. Simon Young founded Six Million Voices to close that gap. Using museum-grade photorealistic 360-degree reconstructions — no VR headset, no app, just a browser — they take students inside Auschwitz, the Warsaw Ghetto, the synagogues burned on Kristallnacht, and the streets of a Jewish world that no longer exists. More than 350,000 people have been reached. Over 70,000 are high school students.Laurie Cardoza-Moore sat down with both men at NRB 2026 for a conversation that goes deeper than technology. The story of the Jewish people does not begin with the Holocaust and it does not end there. It begins with Abraham. And for Christians, understanding that story — honestly, fully, without flinching — is not optional. It is biblical.

Join host Andrea Hutlock for a thoughtful conversation with Elizabeth SoRelle, commission educator at the Texas Holocaust, Genocide and Antisemitism Advisory Commission (THGAAC), about the importance of Holocaust education and the lasting impact meaningful classroom experiences can have on students. In this episode, Elizabeth reflects on her journey from classroom teacher to Holocaust education advocate, including professional learning experiences at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and Yad Vashem in Jerusalem. She also shares how those experiences have inspired powerful student projects that help students connect emotionally with history while deepening their understanding of the world around them. Andrea and Elizabeth discuss helping students form personal connections to history, creating authentic learning opportunities that resonate beyond the classroom, and preserving stories that encourage compassion while strengthening understanding across cultures and generations. The episode also touches on Senate Bill 1828, which requires Holocaust education in Texas public schools, and Holocaust Remembrance Week.

What moral lessons should we take from the Holocaust? In 1998, the late Israeli Holocaust historian Yehuda Bauer told the Bundestag about the three additional commandments the world had learned in the wake of the Shoah: “Thou shalt not be a perpetrator; thou shalt not be a victim; and thou shalt never, but never, be a bystander.” The first, "never be a perpetrator," was embraced most strongly by the Jewish left. The second, "never be a victim," became a raison d'etre of the Jewish right. But the message with the largest purchase on civic institutions—within and beyond the Jewish community—was the third, "never be a bystander," underlying school curricula, public museums, and national monuments. How Holocaust education shapes young people's views on Jews and Israel was ignited in recent months by the author and former White House speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz. “Holocaust education is absolutely essential," she said onstage at the opening session of the General Assembly of Jewish Federations of North America. "But I think it may be confusing some of our young people about antisemitism, because they learn about big, strong Nazis hurting weak, emaciated Jews.... So when on TikTok, all day long, they see powerful Israelis hurting weak, skinny Palestinians, it's not surprising that they think, ‘Oh, I know the lesson of the Holocaust is you fight Israel. You fight the big, powerful people hurting the weak people.'” Today on Not in Heaven, our hosts discuss the messages of Holocaust education, whether the moral lessons we draw from the Holocaust are too binary—powerful vs. powerless, oppressor vs. oppressed—and if Holocaust education should be seen as a tool for advancing a modern social agenda at all.

Yom HaShoah begins this evening. As we remember and honor the legacy of the six million Jews who were murdered in the Holocaust, Samantha Vinokor-Meinrath sits down with Dave Reckess, a third-generation survivor and executive director of 3GNY. 3GNY empowers grandchildren of survivors to share their family's Holocaust stories with students to educate and inspire future generations. Samantha and Dave discuss Holocaust education as an effective tool to address antisemitism, and how it shouldn't be the only antidote to hate, but as an entry point into the richness and nuance of Jewish culture and the obligations we have in building a more just world. They also reflect on how the Holocaust isn't just history and serves as a reminder for how hate manifests today.  We owe this education not only to the victims and survivors of the Holocaust, but also to the generations who will carry these lessons forward.  Learn more about The Jewish Education Project at jewishedproject.orgThis episode was produced by Miranda Lapides and Rina Cohen Schwarz.

As the number of living Holocaust survivors declines, a profound question emerges: who carries these stories next – and how do we ensure they are heard, understood, and acted upon? In this episode, timed to mark Holocaust Memorial Day on January 27th, James and David are joined by Hannah Wilson, Outreach Officer at the charity Generation to Generation, alongside two G2G speakers, Vivienne Cato and and Calum Isaacs, who share their own family histories as descendants of Holocaust survivors. (You can read about their stories here https://www.generation2generation.org.uk/the-story-of-mirjam-finkelstein and here https://www.generation2generation.org.uk/holocaust-survivor-eva-cato). Together, they explore how Holocaust education remains as important, powerful and relevant for young people today – not as mere knowledge of the history, but as lived experience passed from one generation to the next. Vivienne shares the story of her mother Eva, a Slovak Jewish survivor who spent years in hiding under a false identity, and reflects on her experience of growing up in the shadow of survival, luck, and loss. Calum tells the story of his grandmother Mirjam, who survived Nazi persecution through a series of extraordinary events – including a last-minute prisoner exchange – and considers how those near-misses shape identity, values, and responsibility across generations. The conversation also examines: Why Holocaust education matters more than ever How personal testimony cuts through misinformation, distortion, and online extremism The role of ordinary people, bystanders, and complicity – not just dictators – in enabling atrocities Why students often respond with quiet focus, empathy, and deep moral questioning How Holocaust education connects to wider conversations about racism, antisemitism, democracy, and civic responsibility today Hannah reflects on what good Holocaust education looks like in practice, the challenges teachers face, and why grounding learning in real human stories helps young people develop critical thinking, empathy, and historical understanding – without reducing education to moral instruction or political indoctrination. This episode is about remembrance with purpose: how bearing witness is not only about preserving the past, but about shaping the kind of future we want to live in – and the small actions that can make a decisive difference.

Hear how women bravely resisted the Nazis — and why it matters.On this episode of Chatting with Betsy, host Betsy Wurzel speaks with Holocaust educator and author Joanne D. Gilbert about the power of survivor stories and the bravery of Jewish women who resisted the Nazis. Joanne shares how growing up in a Jewish community surrounded by Holocaust Survivors shaped her life's work in education, remembrance, and resistance.She discusses her play Voices of Valor, which gives students the chance to speak the exact words of survivors, and reflects on the emotional impact of preserving these stories for future generations. This episode is dedicated to the memory of Millie Wineman Ron, all those who resisted, and the six million Jews murdered during the Holocaust.

Recorded on the first day of Hanukkah, Episode 443 of The Andrew Parker Show confronts a hard and urgent truth: enabling evil—through silence, excuse-making, or moral relativism—is itself an act of evil.Andrew Parker examines the resurgence of anti-Semitism around the world, from October 7 to violent attacks on Jews celebrating Hanukkah in Australia and places these events within the broader historical context of Jewish persecution, terrorism, and ideological warfare. He challenges the narratives that disguise Jewish hatred as political critique, argues that anti-Zionism is inseparable from anti-Semitism, and warns that Western civilization is engaged in a war of values it can no longer afford to ignore.This episode calls out political leaders, academic institutions, media figures, and communities—including within the Jewish world—that excuse, soften, or rationalize evil. Drawing lessons from history, the Holocaust, and modern terrorism, Andrew makes the case that silence, appeasement, and selective morality lead only to more violence.This is not just a Jewish fight—it is a fight for civilization, moral clarity, and the survival of shared Judeo-Christian values.Support the showThe Andrew Parker Show - Politics, Israel & The Law.

Marcy Winograd and co-host Teri Mattson connect the dots from Medea Benjamin's hurricane-relief mission in Cuba to Trump's military escalation around Venezuela and Rep. Ilhan Omar's push to end unauthorized hostilities. They spotlight Pepperdine's hire of Johnny Moore and the Gaza “humanitarian” scandal, lift up divest-from-war campaigns, and echo Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson on how mass incarceration, sanctions, and endless wars stem from the same sickness: empire, plus a rapid-fire quiz on nukes and militarism. In the second half, Marcy and Rick Chertoff unpack “What's Missing in Holocaust Education,” centering the Nakba, free inquiry in classrooms, and how to teach liberation, not propaganda.

Mijal and Noam sit down with award-winning author Dara Horn (People Love Dead Jews) to tackle one of the most urgent questions today: What's wrong with Holocaust education—and how do we fix it? Together, they explore why most American students meet Jews only as Holocaust victims, how teaching the Shoah without Jewish civilization erases the very culture the Nazis tried to destroy, and why that erasure actually fuels antisemitism rather than combating it. From Holocaust denial to October 7th, from the “big lie” at the heart of Jew-hatred to the paradox of Jewish sovereignty, Dara doesn't hold back. This episode, originally released on Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day) isn't just a history lesson—it's a call to rethink how we talk about Jews, Judaism, and antisemitism.

#holocausteducation #jewishidentity #sovietunionHas Holocaust Education Failed the Jewish Community? | Rabbi Daniel Levine & Naya Lekht

On July 25, Iain Aspenlieder pleaded guilty in court to a charge of mischief for defacing Canada's National Holocaust Monument. Before dawn on June 9, Aspenlieder—a former lawyer with the City of Ottawa—cycled to the monument with three cans of bright red paint to write the words "FEED ME". He meant the phrase as a political statement about the humanitarian condition of Palestinians in Gaza, he admitted. He had also just started a hunger strike, which lasted nearly a month, to call attention to the cause. After his guilty plea, a Superior Court justice released Aspenlieder on bail until the sentencing process starts in the fall. He must leave Ottawa and remain under supervision until then at his parents' home near Alliston, Ont. He is under what the Crown Attorney described as "extremely strict" bail conditions, including wearing a GPS-tracking ankle bracelet, staying off social media, and keeping away from Jewish or Israeli buildings. He is also banned from discussing the conflict in Gaza with anyone except mental health specialists. The prosecutor argues this was a hateful act, and the government intends to ask the judge for a prison term because of the fear he instilled in the Jewish community. But Aspenlieder's defence maintains their client was "driven by a profound sense of compassion and moral urgency—not by hatred or prejudice." On today's episode of The CJN's North Star podcast, host Ellin Bessner gets reaction from Ottawa's Jewish community, including Mina Cohn, the chair of Ottawa's Centre for Holocaust Education and Scholarship, and lawyer Lawrence Greenspon, who is co-chair of the National Holocaust Monument Committee.

In Episode 404 of The Andrew Parker Show, host Andrew Parker welcomes Steve Hunegs, Executive Director of the Jewish Community Relations Council of Minnesota and the Dakotas (JCRC), for a timely and wide-ranging conversation on the centrality of Israel to the Jewish people, the rise of antisemitism across the political spectrum, and the urgent need for education, security, and bridge-building in today's fractured world.Together, they explore the historical and moral significance of Israel—from the Torah to the Declaration of Independence—and how false narratives like apartheid and settler colonialism are weaponized against the Jewish state. Steve offers critical insights into how antisemitism has adapted over time, showing up on both the far left and far right, and how ignorance has fueled the normalization of dangerous rhetoric in American politics.Andrew and Steve don't shy away from hard truths—discussing misalignment in the Democratic Party, the need for bipartisan accountability, and what's at stake for Jewish Americans. But this episode is also filled with hope: from grassroots educational efforts and Holocaust education trips abroad to interfaith partnerships and the enduring work of the JCRC in defending democratic values.This is a deeply personal and politically powerful episode you don't want to miss.Listen now to understand the stakes, the struggle, and the strength of a community determined to stand tall.Support the showThe Andrew Parker Show - Politics, Israel & The Law.

Pundits like left-wing journalist Glenn Greenwald portray pro-Palestinian and pro-Hamas campus activists as underdogs battling Zionist-dominated university bosses. But when you listen to someone like Northeastern U. Professor of Political Science Max  Abrahms, who has had a front-row seat to observe the raw anti-Semitism that has flourished on US campuses since October 7, it seems clear that Greenwald and Company are peddling their own version of the Big Lie. Aside from a few schools like Brandeis University  and Yeshiva University, scholars who are sympathetic to Israel are marginalized and forced into the shadows virtually everywhere else. Abrahms told a Jewish Policy Center webinar on Thursday. Professors say privately that to be a faculty member, you need to be  “anti-Zionist” and that if you dissent from this orthodoxy your career advancement opportunities will be limited. Abrahms said  he supports the Trump administration's efforts to use the threat of withholding federal aid to force schools to expel students who engage in violence and intimidation. But he expressed concern that the hostility to Israel is so ingrained that the federal pressure may not be sufficient to bring about reform. Abrahms believes that  university administrators, not students, are chiefly to blame for the situation, calling them “an integral part of what's wrong.” These administrators, he said, “create this atmosphere” where anti-Semitism can flourish. So-called Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) plans aimed at helping victimized groups are “inherently anti-Semitic,” according to Abrahms. He said that when he attempted to meet the chief diversity officer at his own school, he was informed that they do not view anti-Semitism “as one of the things they are fighting.” Later, Abrahms learned that the head of the school's Chabad organization had been told the same thing. He believes that, by leveraging their financial support,  Jewish donors could create a powerful incentive for reform. According to Abrahms, professors sympathetic to Zionism currently  “face an incentive system geared toward keeping them silent.” Donors “need to place conditions” on academic institutions they support, Abrahms said.   “That's the only way to change things.”

In this Yom HaShoah special, Mijal and Noam sit down with Dara Horn, acclaimed author of People Love Dead Jews, to discuss Holocaust education and why it matters more than ever. Dara explores the rise in Holocaust denial, antisemitism post-October 7th, and how Jewish sovereignty challenges popular narratives. They explore why many Holocaust education programs erase Jewish civilization and present Jews solely as passive victims—and how that plays into broader societal discomfort with Jewish power. Dara also shares how her provocative book title came to be, and why understanding Jewish identity is essential to understanding antisemitism.

Guest Matt Ence is a teacher at Bountiful High School in Bountiful, UT. Matt retired from the military in 2017, when he began his teaching career. He teaches a course on the Holocaust, as well as courses in AP World History and US History. Matt became a Museum Teacher Fellow at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in 2023. Summary Matt discusses teaching a dedicated Holocaust course. He covers the chronology of events from Hitler's rise to post-liberation challenges using survivor testimonies, primary sources, and interactive activities. Matt emphasizes personalizing the Holocaust beyond statistics, exploring collaborators and bystanders alongside perpetrators, and connecting this history to other genocides to help students recognize warning signs and develop empathy for different groups. Three Important Takeaways Teaching chronologically helps students understand cause-and-effect relationships in Holocaust history, while personal testimonies humanize the statistics of 6 million victims. Holocaust education should include an examination of four groups: perpetrators, collaborators, bystanders, and rescuers, showing the complexity of human choices during this period. Connecting Holocaust history to other genocides helps students recognize warning signs and potentially prevent future atrocities through informed action.

In this episode, hear from prominent author Dara Horn (“People Love Dead Jews,” “One Little Goat”) about the key issues with the way the Holocaust is discussed and taught today.  David and Dara discuss how the language used in Holocaust education threatens the erasure of modern Jewish culture and perpetuates antisemitism by painting Jews as feeble, helpless, and sometimes even extinct. They reflect on popular works about the Holocaust, how they are taught to students, and how we can use these conversations, in turn, to bring the rest of Jewish civilization into the dialogue. This episode is for anyone teaching the Holocaust, from Jewish settings to public and independent schools. This episode was produced by Dina Nusnbaum and Miranda Lapides.

2025 marks 80 years since the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp. It was at the centre of the Nazi campaign to eradicate Europe's Jewish population, and almost one million of those who died there were Jews - but Poles, Roma and Russian prisoners of war, among many others, also perished at the camp. Memorials, historical documentation and testimony from survivors help preserve this troubled history. But disinformation and cultural amnesia mean many people deny that the Holocaust happened. We hear from BBC presenter Jordan Dunbar, who visited the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp in Poland for a BBC documentary. He has been speaking to survivors of the Holocaust. He tells us about how this disinformation is spreading online, and what's being done to preserve accurate accounts of history.Plus, we also hear from Andy Pearce, an associate professor and historian at University College London's Centre for Holocaust Education, about how to approach conversations where Holocaust misinformation or denial is present.Instagram: @bbcwhatintheworld Email: whatintheworld@bbc.co.uk WhatsApp: +44 0330 12 33 22 6 Presenter: Hannah Gelbart Producers: William Lee Adams, Benita Barden and Emilia Jansson Editor: Verity Wilde

In a time where Jews are the most represented group in reported hate crimes in Canada, learning about the history of the Holocaust is essential.

Sean Kehoe was raised on a farm in Monticello, Iowa.  As he traversed through growing up in a small town, family tragedy and adversary formed some of his earliest memories.  An interest in science and ecology transitioned into a love for theatre leading to his travel across the county to obtain a master's degree from the University of Arizona.  A short stop working in Hollywood and a return to a job with the Aspen Music Festival would have an unexpected permanent impact on his life.  All of this lead to his current position as General Manager for the Defiant Requiem Foundation.  This is Those Who Do: From Farm Boy to Holocaust Education w/Sean Kehoe If you'd like to donate to the Defiant Requiem Foundation - https://donorbox.org/the-defiant-requiem-foundation

Topics Discussed in This Video: - First Trip to Israel During the Gaza Conflict: Steven Hilton recounts his October 2023 trip to Israel, where he and his colleagues decided to visit despite the ongoing conflict.

This solidarity trip aimed to show support and deepen understanding of the situation on the ground. They visited devastated kibbutzim and the Supernova Open Air Music Festival site, where many young people were tragically k*lled. Hilton describes the emotional impact of these visits and the importance of showing solidarity with those affected. - The Hilton Family Holocaust Education Center: Inspired by his experiences and recognizing the importance of Holocaust education, Hilton discusses his current project, the Hilton Family Holocaust Education Center in Phoenix, Arizona.

Two years ago, a Portland Jewish family’s home was destroyed in an arson. As they got rid of all their burned belongings, the one thing they couldn’t bear to do was toss out with the rest of the burned remains a 100 year-old Steinway grand piano that had belonged to “Grandma Bess.” Much of it was intact, though not restorable. They reached out to musicians and artists and ultimately found their way to Jennifer Wright. She’s a classical pianist by training, a composer and a sound artist who works with found instruments and other objects.   The family, who wants to keep their identity private, worked with Wright over the next two  years on turning the grand piano into a mixed media exhibit, including a newly formed glass piano and textile art made with the burned strings. In a statement that is included in the exhibit, the family wrote: “Seeing the piano transformed from a burned and destroyed object into the foundations of new instruments, furniture, art, beauty, and community awareness is a balm for the wounds of waste and loss. … Finding connectedness is an antidote to hate.” We visit the Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education to talk with Jennifer Wright and OJMCHE director Rebekha Sobel.  

After Oklahoma voters decisively passed State Question 802 in 2020, mandating expansion of Oklahoma's Medicaid coverage to low-income citizens similar to the Affordable Care Act, Governor Kevin Stitt has worked to privatize the joint federal and state run healthcare program. As SoonerCare transitions to SoonerSelect, on April 1, 2024, the program will be operated by three private companies; Aetna Better Health of Oklahoma, Humana Healthy Horizons, and Oklahoma Complete Health. As of March 10th, the Oklahoma Health Care Authority, or OCHA, began auto-assigning members who had not selected their new plans. Shonda Little speaks with Jared Deck, State Representative for House District 44 in Norman and JeKia Harrison, President of the Young Democrats of Oklahoma, and a lifelong resident of northeast Oklahoma City to learn more about this transition and the concerns held by some about this change.In a groundbreaking achievement Traci Manuel, who both attended and taught at Booker T. Washington High School in Tulsa, has etched her name into Oklahoma history books, becoming the first African American educator to claim the prestigious title of Teacher of the Year. Anthony Cherry speaks with her and Milton Dean III. Dean has been in education for 16 years with Tulsa Public Schools. He currently serves at Street School, a nonprofit, alternative, therapeutic based school. Before that he spent four years at the Juvenile Detention Center, also known as the Tulsa County Family Center for Juvenile Justice to share more about Manuel's remarkable journey, from her teaching career to her statewide advocacy for a more inclusive and effective education system. Rebecca Marks Jimerson, the Commemorative Chair and Special Projects Chair of the Martin Luther King Jr. Commemoration Society, has a decade-long commitment to honoring Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy. Recently in Tulsa Jimerson produced a powerful partnership with the Jewish Federation of Tulsa, Circle Cinema, the Tulsa County Sheriff's Office, and the National Association of Black Journalists which shed light on the intertwined histories of Black people and Jewish people through a documentary entitled Shared Legacies: The African American-Jewish Civil Rights Alliance, directed by Jewish filmmaker, Dr. Shari Rogers of Detroit. Through her film she provides verbal accounts of how Dr. King and the Civil Rights Movement were able to move forward with some of this momentum helped by support of allies of the interfaith community even coming together with Dr. King in the marches for equality. This included footage of Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel and other rabbis who were seen close to the front of several marches with Dr. King. This collaboration serves as a call to contemporary social justice movements to unite and continue Dr. King's vision of equality. Francia Allen attended the screening and speaks with Jimerson, Brae Riley, a board member and Chair of the Social Justice Sub-Committee of the Jewish Federation of Tulsa, and Ryan Thomas, the lead film programmer at Circle Cinema to expand on this powerful cooperation.

Laura Zelle is Director of Holocaust Education at the Jewish Community Relations Council of Minnesota and the Dakotas, (JCRC) where she has been on staff since 2005. Laura oversees the daily operations of the program, writing grants and delivering curriculum, educator workshops, speakers, and film showings.  She has been responsible for the vision and creation of numerous educational resources.  Laura's creativity and dedication to anti-bias education is apparent in her latest national project.  After forming a separate non-profit in 2012 called “Tolerance in Motion”, Laura raised funds, recruited board members and envisioned the narrative path for a traveling exhibition that would eventually be accepted by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service (“SITES”).  Four years later, in 2016, Laura pitched the idea to the Smithsonian and soon became the project director for the “The Bias Inside Us.”  The four-year tour, developed with multiple national advisory councils, Smithsonian colleagues, and content experts from Harvard University is a community engagement effort that raises awareness about the social science and psychology of implicit bias, the impact of this bias and what people can do about it.  Along with a small group of co-curators, Laura shaped the vision for the project and worked on a national level securing funding, resources, international artwork, creating the design and media components including an interactive video, designed the website and recruited educational partners across the country.  Laura's commitment to Holocaust education is evident in the work she has done at the JCRC to ensure that Minnesota local Holocaust survivor community's stories and lessons are preserved. Starting with her own mother, Mary, she is executive producer of the award winning documentary about her family story of survival from Athens, Greece.  She produced a total of five documentaries, co-edited a book, and is published in an anthology called “White Teachers Diverse Classrooms.”   She is also co-curator of the photographic exhibition “Transfer of Memory” which tells the stories of Minnesota Holocaust survivors. Tens of thousands of people have seen the exhibit and over two million media impressions have been generated. All of this and much more reflects Laura's vision of teaching the Holocaust.  Laura began her career as a St. Paul public school teacher where she taught for 15 years.  In this episode we discuss: The definition of anti-semitism. A brief history lesson on Israel and the geopolitical lens. Recognizing and understanding problematic rhetoric. What ideology are you supporting? The moral confusion around the world. How important it is to educate yourself.
