(7) Never Again? Holocaust Memory After October 7th
On October 7th, Hamas terrorists hunted Jews house to house, burned families alive, and committed atrocities that immediately evoked memories of the darkest chapter in Jewish history - the Holocaust. While the systematic Nazi genocide remains uniquely incomparable in its scope and horror, the echoes of that period have haunted our collective consciousness since October 7th.Now, as we've just marked Asarah B'Tevet and approach the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz and International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the weight of these historical parallels feels particularly profound. Our guest is Shifra Malina Waxman, a Holocaust educator and experienced guide in Poland, who has dedicated her life to Holocaust education and memory.In the wake of October 7th, we find ourselves asking profound questions about the meaning of 'Never Again' in a world where Jews were once again hunted in their homes. How do we process the similarities and differences between these events? And how might this change the way we teach about and remember the Holocaust? These are some of the complex questions we'll explore today with someone who brings both scholarly expertise and deeply personal perspective as an Israeli, a mother of soldiers, and a guardian of Holocaust memory.At this crucial moment in Jewish history, her insights are more relevant than ever. Shifra, thank you for joining us today."
