Send us Fan Mail Education in Motion | Ep. 681: C.J. Burtnick — Teaching the Holocaust Through Stories | HMTC DESCRIPTION After sharing lunch with a Holocaust survivor, C.J. Burtnick’s students stand, take an upstander pledge, and explain what they learned. Their words tell her the history has become personal. On Education in Motion, host Zachary Graulich speaks with the New Jersey social studies teacher about transforming a limited literature unit into a broader Holocaust education program built on testimony, primary sources, museum partnerships, and personal histories. They discuss antisemitism at school, online denial and misinformation, and why the Holocaust should not be a student’s first introduction to Jewish life. C.J. also reflects on teaching prewar communities, slowing down with artifacts, and showing that no single book or testimony represents every experience. Her former students still return years later to say the Holocaust unit stayed with them, evidence that careful education can build resilience, empathy, and the courage to become an upstander.

Send us Fan Mail Kibitz with Keren | Ep. 682: Doron Keren — What Are We Teaching Our Children? | HMTC DESCRIPTION “What you teach your kids is what the future is.” That sentence leads Doron Keren to ask whether the challenges facing young American Jews begin long before college. On this host-only installment of Kibitz with Keren, Doron examines how K–12 Jewish education can give students the history, identity, critical-thinking skills, and confidence to enter difficult conversations without fear. He considers the roles of Jewish texts, Zionism, American history, classical education, philanthropy, and higher education in shaping thoughtful young adults. His argument is not to shield students from disagreement or tell them what to think. It is to prepare them to listen, question, build evidence-based arguments, and understand their own inheritance before engaging with someone else’s. The future, he suggests, begins upstream with what families, schools, and communities teach children before they reach campus.

Send us Fan Mail The Dana Download | Ep. 679: Aimee Gagnon Fogg — Preserving the Ritchie Boys’ Stories | HMTC Every Memorial Day, Aimee Gagnon Fogg places Kurt Jacobs’s photograph at his grave in Belgium. One face is still missing: fellow Ritchie Boy Murray Zappler’s. On The Dana Download, host Dana Arschin speaks with Aimee, founder of They Speak: Voices of Henri-Chapelle American Cemetery, about preserving the lives of nearly 8,400 American WWII service members buried or commemorated there. Her search began with her great-uncle, PFC Paul M. Lavoie, who was killed in Germany at age 21, and has grown into research on approximately 2,200 service members. Aimee traces the journeys of Jewish refugees Kurt Jacobs and Murray Zappler, who returned to Europe as U.S. military intelligence specialists. Their stories affirm her belief that there is no “us versus them.” Each recovered name, photograph, and memory restores individuality and becomes a small victory for humanity.

Send us Fan Mail The Dana Download | Ep. 680: Steve Koppell — Running Through Grief and Fatherhood | HMTC DESCRIPTION Seven weeks after promising his wife, Stacey, that he would run the New York City Marathon, Steve Koppell lost her unexpectedly. Their daughter, Hannah, was only 15 months old. On The Dana Download, host Dana Arschin speaks with Steve about becoming a solo parent, preserving Stacey’s memory for Hannah, and learning to grow around grief. He shares how friends supported him through practical acts of kindness and how Stacey’s family helped him remain open to companionship, love, and a blended family. Steve also describes losing 90 pounds, completing three marathons and 10 half-marathons, and raising more than $10,000 for the National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD). Running began as a promise to Stacey and became a way to process grief, support families seeking answers, and carry her optimism forward. Moving forward, he reminds us, does not mean leaving someone behind.
