Ep 418: Ordinary Heroes
In this inspiring episode of Ordinary Heroes, host Bernie Furshpan welcomes two remarkable young leaders, Tatum Sosnik and Phoebe Weinschel, to hmTv at the Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center of Nassau County.
Both high school students serve as technical directors in the hmTv podcast studio, working behind the scenes to help powerful stories reach the community. But their impact goes far beyond production. Bernie speaks with them about what it means to grow up in today’s world, the challenges of hate and antisemitism in schools, and the responsibility of young people to become upstanders rather than bystanders.
Tatum and Phoebe share their perspectives on education, social media, division in society, and why learning from Holocaust history still matters. The conversation explores how ordinary young people can shape a more respectful, united future through awareness, empathy, and action.
The episode also highlights Phoebe’s family connection to the Kindertransport and the importance of passing legacy and responsibility from one generation to the next.
This is a hopeful and honest look at the next generation — thoughtful, aware, and ready to help repair the world.
