The Holocaust is slipping from living memory—and that vacuum is being filled with distortion, denial, and inversion.

In this special episode of EylON the Record, Eylon Levy speaks with Dan Auerbach, a ninety-five-year-old Holocaust survivor, who recounts his childhood journey through the machinery of genocide—from deportation trains and separation from loved ones to survival in Theresienstadt and liberation at the end of the war. Recorded ahead of International Holocaust Remembrance Day at a Zikaron Basalon gathering in Eylon's home in Tel Aviv, this conversation confronts what happens when history is forgotten—and why testimony still matters now.

In this episode, we discuss:
• What the Holocaust looked like through the eyes of a child who lived it
• The moment friends turned into persecutors—and what that revealed
• Survival, memory, and the burden carried by those who lived
• Why Holocaust remembrance is collapsing just as antisemitism resurges

Understanding the Holocaust is not only about honoring the past. It is about recognizing how easily moral clarity erodes when lies replace facts—and how quickly violence follows when Jews are recast from victims into villains. This testimony insists on accuracy, memory, and responsibility at a moment when all three are under attack.

The world is watching President Trump—and guessing what he will do with Iran's murderous leaders. But the real question is not how the United States will act, but what an apocalyptic regime will do if it believes its survival is on the line.

In this episode of EylON the Record, Eylon Levy speaks with Catherine Perez-Shakdam, a pro-Israel activist with a bizarre backstory that took her to the halls of power in Tehran. They discuss how the Islamic Republic of Iran actually thinks—its ideological drivers, its apocalyptic streak, and why Western governments keep misreading Tehran as a “normal” authoritarian state.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Catherine’s surreal personal journey—and how she gained proximity to senior Iranian figures
• Why the Islamic Republic operates like a cult, not a conventional state
• What “Death to Israel” means in the regime’s own words—and why dismissing it as rhetoric is dangerous
• How Iran behaves when cornered: escalation, deterrence, and the logic of “maximum pressure”

Understanding Iran isn’t an academic exercise. If policymakers mistake ideology for theatrics, they’ll miscalculate deterrence, misunderstand escalation, and sleepwalk into the next phase of the conflict—whether that’s an external war, internal collapse, or something uglier in between.

🎯 “It’s a cult. It’s absolutely a cult.”

Urban warfare isn’t just fought street by street. It’s fought tunnel by tunnel—and headline by headline.

In this first episode of EylON the Record, Eylon Levy speaks with Andrew Fox, a former British Army officer and military analyst who has studied the IDF’s campaign in Gaza and what Western militaries—and Western democracies—should learn from it. They examine how Israel adapted in real time to tunnels, civilian shields, and a battlefield designed to produce global outrage, and why the information war can decide what happens in the physical war.

In this episode, we discuss:
• How the IDF adapted under fire: tunnel operations, command integration, and rapid learning loops
• The surprising battlefield edge: data-driven medicine and forward deployment that saved hundreds of lives
• Why “civilian harm” became a strategic weapon—and what that means for future Western wars
• The enemy’s playbook: how Hamas “deletes itself” from coverage, goes underground, and builds a media ecosystem before the first shot

This conversation goes beyond slogans about “morality” or “PR.” It’s about how democracies should fight enemies who use civilians as human sacrifices, treat cameras as weapons, and understand that delegitimization can be as powerful as rockets. If the West gets the lesson wrong, the next war will be harder—and the next enemy will be smarter.

🎯 Key moment:
“The first lesson for an asymmetric enemy is this: delete yourself from the battlefield. If no one sees your casualties, if you’re absent from the coverage, the war stops looking like force-on-force—and starts looking like one side simply destroying the other.”

Israel is fighting two wars: one on the battlefield—and one in the headlines. In this explosive episode, Eylon Levy is joined by Israeli-American OSINT sleuth Eitan Fischberger, who breaks down how Hamas has manipulated the global media narrative through lies, disguises, and infiltration.

Fischberger, who rocketed from 2,000 to over 40,000 Twitter followers since October 7, reveals:
• How open-source evidence shows Gaza “journalists” moonlighting as Hamas commanders
 • The Hamas-run media training programs feeding footage to Al Jazeera and CNN
 • The shocking case of a hospital director exposed as a Hamas colonel
 • Why the IDF’s failure to communicate evidence is costing Israel the information war
 • Why major news outlets refuse to admit they’ve been duped by terrorists

British taxpayers are funding Hamas. That’s the bombshell revelation exposed in this week’s episode with legal expert Anne Herzberg from NGO Monitor.
We dive deep into:
- The UK’s role in Gaza’s cash aid system and how Hamas controls who gets paid
- How “humanitarian” agencies like UNICEF and UNRWA became laundering mechanisms for a jihadist regime
- The willful blindness of international aid organizations and why they’re terrified of transparency
- How the West's cash pipeline empowers Hamas and keeps Gaza dependent on terror-linked welfare
- The staggering admission: reputation not terror financing was Britain’s top concern
- Why the aid sector’s hive-mind ideology has enabled 20 years of moral corruption

Anne Herzberg breaks down the document that proves it all and reveals the networks that have allowed Hamas to thrive under the cover of humanitarianism.
