Yom HaShoah: Remembering the Holocaust, Redefining Jewish Heroism

Unpacking Israeli History

Host Noam Weissman explores the powerful origins and evolving meaning of Yom HaShoah ve HaGevurah, Israel’s official Holocaust Remembrance Day. Why doesn’t Israel observe Holocaust Memorial Day on January 27th like the rest of the world? The answer lies in a gripping story of resistance, memory, politics, and identity. This episode confronts painful truths, honors acts of defiance, and ultimately asks: how do we remember the Holocaust in a way that affirms Jewish resilience and identity?
