Ep 424 | Inheriting Memory
What does it mean to carry history you did not live through, yet feel every day? In this powerful episode of Inheriting Memory on hmTv, host Rebecca Sparacio speaks with Tamara Healy, a third generation descendant of Holocaust survivors, about identity, resilience, and the quiet ways trauma and strength travel through families.
Tamara reflects on growing up surrounded by pride, gratitude, and deep family connection, while also navigating antisemitism and ignorance outside her community. She shares how her grandparents’ survival stories, her parents’ values, and her own experiences as a school counselor and mother shape the way she responds to hate today. From childhood memories and intergenerational anxiety to the urgency of Holocaust education and the impact of October 7, this conversation bridges past and present with honesty and heart.
This episode explores how memory becomes responsibility, why education still matters, and what each of us can do to stand against hatred with facts, dignity, and humanity.
A meaningful conversation from hmTv, a podcast of the Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center of Nassau County.
