    Menachem Rosensaft: Living With Ghosts
    Jan 26 2026

    Menachem Rosensaft is an attorney, law professor, poet, and one of the most influential voices of the second generation.

    In this episode of To Be Continued… Reflections on Growing Up with Holocaust Survivors, Rabbi Jeff Salkin speaks with Rosensaft about what survives survival itself: exploring inherited trauma, the “ghosts” carried by children of survivors, and the obligation to remember in ways that demand action.
