Recorded at Royal West Academy on Yom HaShoah, this episode brings together four Secondary 5 students and Rachel Goodman in conversation with Mark Bergman. Following Rachel’s powerful presentation about her mother’s experience during the Holocaust, and the family who risked everything to save her life, the group reflects on the impact of hearing such a story firsthand.

Through thoughtful discussion, they explore the importance of remembrance, the weight of carrying these stories forward, and what it means for the next generation to ensure that history is never forgotten.
