Dad, Did We Just Break America?

The Fifth Question: Where Have We Gone So Wrong?


Listen Later

In this powerful episode, Skylar and Corey explore the true meaning of Passover, unravel its historical and spiritual roots, and confront the uncomfortable truths many prefer to forget. They discuss the disturbing rise in denial and distortion, revealing statistics showing that a shocking 20% of young adults now believe the Holocaust is a myth — a stark reminder of how education and memory can fade when we stop teaching our children about the past.

We break down:

  • The origins of Passover and the significance of the blood that "passed over" Egyptian homes, and why this story remains so relevant today
  • How social media manipulates perceptions of truth and the danger of misinformation in shaping public opinion
  • The alarming statistics about Holocaust denial among younger generations and what it means for future generations
  • The importance of preserving the realities of history through museums, education, and personal storytelling
  • The role each of us can play in combating anti-Semitism, denial, and societal amnesia

Why does this episode matter? Because forgetting history makes us vulnerable. The rise of ignorance and distortion threatens to repeat the darkest chapters of our past. But the knowledge of our history, especially the horrors of the Holocaust and the resilience of those who survived, is our greatest weapon against the forces of denial and hatred.

Skylar’s perspective and voice, as a member of a generation that has seemingly embraced antisemitism, intersecting with Corey’s cynical but heartfelt reflections make this a conversation that’s urgent, heartfelt, and unflinchingly honest.
