Summary

Sami Steigmann, a Holocaust Survivor who lives to tell his story, gives Sid the honor of welcoming him live into the studio to talk about his being denied an opportunity to speak at a Brooklyn middle school by Principal Arin Rush, due to concerns about his potential pro-Israel messages. Despite this setback, Steigmann remains optimistic and steadfast in his mission to educate future generations about the Holocaust and the dangers of hate. He shares his harrowing experiences from the Nazi camps and the importance of addressing biases and intolerance in today's society. Steigmann also emphasizes the need for mandatory Holocaust education across all states and the importance of speaking out against indoctrination. Sid expresses his support for Steigmann's efforts and discusses his appointment to the Holocaust Memorial Museum Council, promising to assist in Steigmann's mission to educate children about the Holocaust.
