“Echoes Across Time: Voices of Survival and Lessons for Our Future”
As we stand on the cusp of history, the voices of Holocaust and genocide survivors grow more urgent, reminding us of the cost of silence, the value of empathy, and the power of resilience. “Echoes Across Time” invites audiences to explore the critical lessons these testimonies offer—on values, democracy, and the warning signs of oppression. Through monthly episodes, each centered around a survivor’s testimony about their life experiences, this series probes the question: Are we truly listening? Join us as we amplify stories from the Holocaust to Rwanda, Cambodia, and beyond, engaging with survivors, scholars, and advocates who work tirelessly to preserve these legacies and inspire a more compassionate future.
“A New World of Remembrance: Insights from Pinchas Gutter”
Featuring: Holocaust survivor Pinchas Gutter, who will share profound reflections on how the weight of testimony has shifted over time and the ways memory adapts in a world where prejudice and intolerance persist. Pinchas’s story challenges us to think about our responsibility to remember, and how each of us can confront hate and build resilience within our own communities. This session explores what it means to carry the memories of the Holocaust and rebuilding life after it ended into the future and the lessons that memory can teach us in today’s world.
