\\u201cI feel a responsibility to talk about this as much as I can.\\u201d So recounts Stephen B. Jacobs, one of the last remaining survivors of the Holocaust. Sent to Buchenwald concentration camp at the age of 5, Stephen recalls his memories hiding in the TB ward where his father worked, being reunited with his family after liberation, and how he remembers \\u201ctoo much\\u201d while his brother remembers nothing, having blocked out his harrowing experiences. Fast forward to the present, with Stephen helping to memorialize the heroic acts of Albanians who risked their lives to save Jews during the war, and again to the future, as he takes a prominent role in enhancing the future of the Jewish people as a judge in Jewish National Fund-USA\\u2019s Envision Tomorrow\\u2019s Israel competition for their new world-class campus in Be\\u2019er Sheva, Israel. This week\\u2019s episode of IsraelCast reminds us not just to \\u201cnever forget\\u201d, but also to build on the past for future generations.
