Explore every episode of the podcast Yom HaShoah: Remembering the 6 Million with Rav Shlomo Katz

On Yom HaShoah, Rav Shlomo Katz shares the hidden story of the Breslover chassidim in the Warsaw Ghetto — led by Rav Yitzchak Breiter, who brought the light of Rebbe Nachman to Poland.

Through song, courage, and unshakable faith, they built a world of hope where the words “אין שום ייאוש בעולם כלל” — “There is no despair in the world at all” — hung above their beit midrash as bombs fell around them.

Their voices remind us that even in the darkest places, the Jewish soul still sings.

On Yom HaShoah, Rav Shlomo Katz shares the forgotten stories of Chassidic masters who perished in the Holocaust — giants whose names and faces have faded, but whose light still burns.

Through song, tears, and Torah, Rav Shlomo brings their legacy back into our hearts — their courage, their humility, and their unshakable faith.

A holy remembrance of those who taught us how to believe even when the world went dark.

On Yom HaShoah, Rav Shlomo Katz learns from the Aish Kodesh, Rav Kalonymus Kalman Shapira of Piaseczna, whose Torah was born in the fire of the Warsaw Ghetto.

Through his words, Rav Shlomo opens a window into faith that survived the unthinkable — how Jews held on to God, to hope, and to each other even in the darkest night.

A quiet moment of remembrance, strength, and the light that refuses to go out.

On Yom HaShoah, Rav Shlomo Katz opens his heart about how we speak to Hashem after the six million. Through niggun, a survivor story from his own family, and teachings from the Chassidic masters, he shares why simple closeness—more than answers—is the only medicine for a wounded world. 

A gentle space to remember, to feel, and to keep talking to God when words run out.
