Back to EpisodesNo Title Needed Episode 72 - Songs of Survival with Amber Maze
Description
In this poignant episode, Cindy and Scott sit down with Amber Maze of the Indianapolis Jewish Community Relations Council to explore her lifelong dedication to Holocaust remembrance. Although not raised Jewish, Amber’s journey began at age eight, fueled by a relentless curiosity that eventually led to her conversion and a career in education and outreach. From cold-calling schools to facilitate "second generation" survivor talks to navigating the emotional terrain of concentration camp tours, Amber discusses the concept of bashert—the idea that she was meant to be a witness.
We also dive into the story behind Amber's transition from educator to filmmaker, exploring her collaboration with Philip Paluso on the documentary "Sweet Lorraine in Auschwitz". The film captures the survival of Frank (Miša) Grunwald, who leaned on music to endure the unthinkable.
Join us for a conversation on the importance of Holocaust education, the charge of remembrance, and how music can sustain the human spirit.
