  • “You Will Go Up the Chimney” | Holocaust Survivor Dan Auerbach at 95
    Jan 26 2026

    Send us a text

    The Holocaust is slipping from living memory—and that vacuum is being filled with distortion, denial, and inversion.

    In this special episode of EylON the Record, Eylon Levy speaks with Dan Auerbach, a ninety-five-year-old Holocaust survivor, who recounts his childhood journey through the machinery of genocide—from deportation trains and separation from loved ones to survival in Theresienstadt and liberation at the end of the war. Recorded ahead of International Holocaust Remembrance Day at a Zikaron Basalon gathering in Eylon's home in Tel Aviv, this conversation confronts what happens when history is forgotten—and why testimony still matters now.

    In this episode, we discuss:
    • What the Holocaust looked like through the eyes of a child who lived it
    • The moment friends turned into persecutors—and what that revealed
    • Survival, memory, and the burden carried by those who lived
    • Why Holocaust remembrance is collapsing just as antisemitism resurges

    Understanding the Holocaust is not only about honoring the past. It is about recognizing how easily moral clarity erodes when lies replace facts—and how quickly violence follows when Jews are recast from victims into villains. This testimony insists on accuracy, memory, and responsibility at a moment when all three are under attack.

    The world is watching President Trump—and guessing what he will do with Iran's murderous leaders. But the real question is not how the United States will act, but what an apocalyptic regime will do if it believes its survival is on the line.

    In this episode of EylON the Record, Eylon Levy speaks with Catherine Perez-Shakdam, a pro-Israel activist with a bizarre backstory that took her to the halls of power in Tehran. They discuss how the Islamic Republic of Iran actually thinks—its ideological drivers, its apocalyptic streak, and why Western governments keep misreading Tehran as a “normal” authoritarian state.

    In this episode, we discuss:

    • Catherine’s surreal personal journey—and how she gained proximity to senior Iranian figures
    • Why the Islamic Republic operates like a cult, not a conventional state
    • What “Death to Israel” means in the regime’s own words—and why dismissing it as rhetoric is dangerous
    • How Iran behaves when cornered: escalation, deterrence, and the logic of “maximum pressure”

    Understanding Iran isn’t an academic exercise. If policymakers mistake ideology for theatrics, they’ll miscalculate deterrence, misunderstand escalation, and sleepwalk into the next phase of the conflict—whether that’s an external war, internal collapse, or something uglier in between.

    🎯 “It’s a cult. It’s absolutely a cult.”

    Urban warfare isn’t just fought street by street. It’s fought tunnel by tunnel—and headline by headline.

    In this first episode of EylON the Record, Eylon Levy speaks with Andrew Fox, a former British Army officer and military analyst who has studied the IDF’s campaign in Gaza and what Western militaries—and Western democracies—should learn from it. They examine how Israel adapted in real time to tunnels, civilian shields, and a battlefield designed to produce global outrage, and why the information war can decide what happens in the physical war.

    In this episode, we discuss:
    • How the IDF adapted under fire: tunnel operations, command integration, and rapid learning loops
    • The surprising battlefield edge: data-driven medicine and forward deployment that saved hundreds of lives
    • Why “civilian harm” became a strategic weapon—and what that means for future Western wars
    • The enemy’s playbook: how Hamas “deletes itself” from coverage, goes underground, and builds a media ecosystem before the first shot

    This conversation goes beyond slogans about “morality” or “PR.” It’s about how democracies should fight enemies who use civilians as human sacrifices, treat cameras as weapons, and understand that delegitimization can be as powerful as rockets. If the West gets the lesson wrong, the next war will be harder—and the next enemy will be smarter.

    🎯 Key moment:
    “The first lesson for an asymmetric enemy is this: delete yourself from the battlefield. If no one sees your casualties, if you’re absent from the coverage, the war stops looking like force-on-force—and starts looking like one side simply destroying the other.”
