Episode 224 – Ordinary Heroes with Dan Mariaschin
In this powerful episode of Ordinary Heroes, host Bernie Furshpan welcomes Dan Mariaschin, CEO of B’nai B’rith International, for an in-depth conversation on combating antisemitism, defending human rights, and preserving Holocaust memory.
Mariaschin shares his journey from a small Jewish community in New Hampshire to leading one of the world’s oldest Jewish organizations, founded in 1843 on the principle of helping those in need. Together, Bernie and Dan explore the “perfect storm” of modern antisemitism—social media disinformation, campus hostility, biased media, and global indifference—and the urgent strategies needed to counter it.
They also discuss B’nai B’rith’s advocacy at the United Nations, its global reports on antisemitism, ongoing work in Holocaust restitution, and the moral responsibility to carry survivor stories forward. This episode is both a warning and a call to action: to stand firm, educate future generations, and fight for truth in an age of disinformation.
