The Scanner: Devora Fish from the Tennessee Holocaust Commission


Listen Later

Recently, we commemorated the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz on a day that is now  known as International Holocaust Remembrance Day. Our guest today, Devora Fish, is the executive director of the Tennessee Holocaust Commission, a state agency devoted to teaching the holocaust to children across the state and ensuring that it’s lessons are not lost to history, particularly as we lose more and more survivors every year.

Devora talked about the links between the lessons of the Holocaust, the current debate in the United States about confederate statuary, and how these topics are being shared with our children -- and what happens when they’re not shared with our children.
