In this episode of Connecting the Dots, guest host Mark Sutherland speaks with Rabbi Bernard Rosenberg, the son of Auschwitz survivors, Holocaust scholar, and longtime spiritual leader. What begins as a deeply personal recounting of his family’s survival becomes an urgent warning to America and the West: history is repeating itself.
Rabbi Rosenberg draws chilling parallels between 1930s Europe and the cultural, political, and spiritual landscape of today—from the silence of Jewish leadership and the betrayal of liberal institutions to the rise of candidates like Zohran Mamdani, whose ideology echoes dangerous historical patterns.
The conversation explores:
The Holocaust's legacy and why survivors stayed silent for decades
How antisemitic ideology is repackaged today in politics, academia, and media
The unspoken influence of radical Islam and foreign funding on Western institutions
The spiritual war behind hatred of Israel and the Jewish people
The Iranian regime’s apocalyptic worldview and its threat to world peace
Why Jewish voters, rabbis, and federations must wake up before it’s too late
“You don’t rely on others to protect you. You protect yourself.”
This is more than a history lesson. It’s a mirror held up to the present moment.
Where the listener takes it from here is up to them.
