Listen Later

This week's show is in observance of Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day. Highlights:

  • Rabbi Arthur Schneier, Holocaust survivor, world-renowned human rights activist, and senior rabbi of Manhattan's Park East Synagogue for more than fifty years, shares his wartime memories of the Carpathian town Yasinia (Ukrainian: Ясіня; Hungarian: Kőrösmező; Czech: Jasiňa; Yiddish: Yasin (יאַסין)). He recalls his grandfather, the town's rabbi, Moyshe Bergmann, and describes his narrow escape from the 1941 Kamenets Podolsk Massacre. We reached Rabbi Schneier at his Manhattan office via Zoom on Feb. 20, 2025.
