Ep. 371
Legacy Chronicles | hmTv
Host: Zachary Graulich
Guest: Dr. Susanne Bleiberg Seperson
In this powerful episode of Legacy Chronicles, host Zachary Graulich sits down with Dr. Susanne Bleiberg Seperson, a second-generation Holocaust survivor, scholar, and global advocate, to explore how memory becomes mission and legacy becomes action.
Dr. Seperson reflects on her parents’ survival during the Holocaust, including her mother’s imprisonment in Auschwitz and her later role as a beloved educator at the Holocaust Memorial & Tolerance Center. She shares how growing up surrounded by absence, resilience, and an unwavering belief in education shaped her life’s work.
The conversation traces Dr. Seperson’s journey from academia to international advocacy, including her groundbreaking course on the Sociology of the Holocaust and her leadership at the United Nations combating antisemitism and promoting peace. Together, they examine why Holocaust education remains urgently relevant today, how historical truth is challenged and distorted, and why hope, perseverance, and moral responsibility must guide future generations.
This episode is a moving testament to the power of education, the importance of intergenerational storytelling, and the enduring responsibility to protect truth and humanity in an increasingly complex world.
Legacy Chronicles is produced by the Holocaust Memorial & Tolerance Center and streamed on hmTv.
