As we stand on the cusp of history, the voices of Holocaust and genocide survivors grow ever 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 crucial lessons these testimonies offer—on values, democracy, and the warning signs of oppression. Through monthly episodes, each centred around a survivor’s testimony about their life experiences, this series poses 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.

Generations of the Shoah: Passing the Torch
Featuring: Esther Toporek Finder, Founder of the Coordinating Council of Generations of the Shoah International and President of Generations of the Shoah – Nevada, along with Sharon Buenos of Zikaron BaSalon.

This discussion will address the pressing issue of legacy and the vital role younger generations play in carrying forward the memories of the Holocaust. Esther and Sharon will share insights on how remembrance can help combat modern-day hate and antisemitism, encouraging participants to consider how they, too, can be torchbearers in this global fight. This session explores the importance of resilience, community, and the role each individual plays in sustaining the impact of survivor stories.
