Ep. 71 Beyond the Dates: Teaching the Holocaust Through Story

In this episode, Dr. Deborah Fripp, executive director of Teach
the Shoah, joins Dr. Mehak Burza for a powerful conversation on
the role of storytelling in Holocaust education. Together, they
explore what it means to honor voices that are no longer with us,
how to responsibly share survivors’ stories, and why storytelling
continues to be one of the most moving tools for remembrance in a
post-witness era. From the emotional toll of deep listening to
strategies for guiding students beyond passive learning, Dr.
Fripp reflects on how story becomes both a vessel for memory and
a call to moral engagement.
