Episode 12: Solidarity Sabbath Season - Survivors

The Holocaust, or Shoah in Hebrew, refers to the World War II genocide of 6 million European Jews. This was unequivocally the most extreme and horrific example of anti-Semitism the world has ever seen. Yet, somehow Jewish survivors of this atrocity, including the Lantos Foundation’s namesake Tom Lantos, were able to emerge from this dark time with their spirits unbroken and with a deep sense of their responsibility to ensure that such horrors never happen again. In this episode, podcast host and Lantos Foundation President Dr. Katrina Lantos Swett speaks with two Holocaust survivors about their experiences during WWII and how they shaped the rest of their lives.United States Holocaust Memorial MuseumYad Vashem – The World Holocaust Remembrance CenterUSC Shoah FoundationNew Hampshire Governor Sununu signs genocide education billMaloney’s Never Again Education Act Signed into Law
