For our first segment, we’re talking about The Last Days, a documentary that originally came out in 1998, directed by James Moll, and focuses on the lives of five hungarian Jews who survived the Holocaust. Recently rereleased on Netflix, it got us thinking about Holocaust education, and how it’s changing in a world where there are fewer and fewer Holocaust survivors. For that segment we’re talking to Rachel Libman who is the Manager of Public Programs, at the Neuberger Holocaust Education Centre.
