Holocaust Education As Living Memory, Season 2, Episode 22

Rabbi Yehudah Potok, Director of Jewish Education at Facing History and Ourselves joins David Bryfman for a meaningful episode focused on Holocaust education for Jewish and non-Jewish audiences. Rabbi Potok shares how he understands the phrase "Never Again", why it’s important to balance the universal and the particular in Holocaust education, and how he’s responding to questions from students about the violence in Ukraine. Rabbi Potok also reflects on what his family history, a love of summer camp, and personal experiences staffing teen travel excursions taught him about the role of experiential education in perpetuating living memories of Jewish history.
