The Holocaust—Those Who Resisted

The Year 2033

Unanswered Questions IX
Air Date: - Season 4 - Episode 2 | Edwin takes on some unanswered—and still burning—questions. Almost every episode, we run out of time before we run out of questions. We save them, and these episodes give us a chance to address topics such as history, the state of journalism, WWIII, energy, current affairs, and more. Edwin also accepts questions live via the Zoom Q&A. Join us for another no-holds-barred, nothing-off-the-table session. Carly Gammill of StandWithUs joins Edwin to spotlight a case of antisemitism at George Washington University and SWU's response.Show Topics: Unanswered Questions
Kristallnacht 2.0: Part II
Air Date: - Season 4 - Episode 1 | Pro-Palestinian activists, antisemitic politicians and celebrities, and other racist elements are coalescing into a diverse anti-Jewish and anti-Israel movement. Jewish locations are mapped and publicized, Berkeley Law School has nine “no-go” zones for pro-Israel speakers, synagogues are vandalized, and Jews are threatened and assaulted every day, coast to coast. The term “Zionist” is often a trigger for exclusion and retaliation. Is a new Kishinev, Farhud, or Kristallnacht coming to America? Holocaust education leader Yossie Hollander and eminent civil rights attorney Nathan Lewin join Edwin again for Part II of the discussion that nobody wants to have.Show Topics: Antisemitism, Holocaust, US History
