Ep 552: It’s All About the Children with Carin Bail & Sami Steigman, Part 1 on hmTv

In this powerful episode of It’s All About the Children, host Carin Bail sits down with Holocaust survivor, educator, and speaker Sami Steigman for a deeply meaningful conversation about memory, education, resilience, and the responsibility of passing history to the next generation.

Sami reflects on his recent experience at the March of the Living in Poland, where he joined thousands of students and survivors from around the world in honoring the victims of the Holocaust. He shares the emotional significance of lighting the seventh torch, representing the rebirth of Israel, and explains why this moment became one of the great honors of his life.

Throughout the conversation, Sami emphasizes that teaching the Holocaust is not simply about remembering tragedy. It is about understanding how hate begins, how propaganda spreads, how bullying can grow into violence, and why silence allows evil to escalate. He speaks directly about the importance of educating young people early, encouraging critical thinking, and recognizing the warning signs of dehumanization and antisemitism.

This episode is a moving reminder that history must not only be remembered. It must be taught, understood, and used as a guide for moral courage today.
