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.
