Episode 110 of Legacy Chronicles
Guest: Esther Jamnik | Host: Zachary Graulich
Presented by hmTv and the Holocaust Memorial & Tolerance Center of Nassau County (HMTC)
In this deeply moving episode of Legacy Chronicles, Assistant Director of Education Zachary Graulich sits down with Esther Jamnik, a second-generation Holocaust survivor, to share her powerful journey of rediscovering and honoring her father’s legacy. Esther recounts how she transformed from someone who once avoided Holocaust memorial programs into a passionate educator and speaker, dedicated to preserving memory and building empathy among younger generations.
Esther speaks about her father’s harrowing survival through Auschwitz and the death march, her mother’s separate escape through Soviet territories, and how she ultimately found her voice during a pandemic-era writing course offered by HMTC. From speaking at a family unveiling to addressing students in multiple languages, Esther's testimony is not only a tribute to her parents but a call to action for education, understanding, and standing up against antisemitism.
This episode explores how one person’s willingness to speak out can inspire generations—and potentially change lives.
🎧 Listen now to hear a story of survival, legacy, and resilience—and discover why Holocaust education matters more than ever.
