Description

It’s not often you meet a 96-year-old who is still working hard to make the world a better place. But for Ben Lesser, a Holocaust survivor who lived through the atrocities of the Krakow ghettos and concentration camps, silence is not an option. As Ben puts it, he has a responsibility to share his story “to keep this world from acquiring amnesia.”⁣

In this episode, his daughter Gail joins him, because this conversation is not just about the past—it’s about the future. This episode doesn’t sugarcoat. You’ll hear about Ben’s experience during the Holocaust and the moment that made him open up and begin sharing his story for the betterment of humanity. How mindset and miracles kept him alive. What sparked him to write a book, start the Zachor Holocaust Remembrance Foundation, and encourage the next generation to shout out and choose love—so we never forget.⁣
