EP16 (S1) - Can't Turn This Off

From Jewfros to Jew hatred, Amy and Dor plunge into the weight of history amid distractions and news updates. Casual banter about personal style morphs into a raw reckoning with intergenerational trauma, and the pressure for Jews to be 'good victims’ and ‘just get over it.’


Amy questions if history repeats itself, and finds solace in Haskel Lookstein's 1985 book, Were We Our Brothers' Keepers?, exploring the American Jewish response to the Holocaust, and featuring a foreword by Elie Wiesel.


Despair sets in, intensifying the feeling of being stuck in a holding pattern. Amy and Dor debunk theories, challenge preconceived notions, and confront Jew hatred. They unravel layers of history, navigating guilt and critiquing "good Jew" coverage, sharing personal family stories that interweave with broader historical narratives.


Both grandchildren of Holocaust survivors, Amy and Dor reflect on the intricate threads woven into the fabric of time, family trees, and DNA. Peeling back layers from the British mandate to modern geopolitics, Amy urges listeners to confront the complexities shaping the present.


The episode unfolds as a mosaic of emotions, closing with a plea for understanding and resilience. A profound meditation on intergenerational trauma, vilification, and a woman's relentless struggle to be heard—an urgent attempt to process lived histories and echoes from the past.


Special thanks to Jonathan Gal for the recap.
