Two Life Changing Trips to Israel and Building a Holocaust Education Center w/ Steven Hilton
Join host Paul Johnson as he welcomes Steven Hilton, a passionate supporter of humanitarian causes and a dedicated advocate for Holocaust education. In this episode of New Frontiers, Steven shares his profound experiences from his two recent trips to Israel and discusses his inspiring project, the Hilton Family Holocaust Education Center.
Topics Discussed in This Video:
- First Trip to Israel During the Gaza Conflict: Steven Hilton recounts his October 2023 trip to Israel, where he and his colleagues decided to visit despite the ongoing conflict. Landing in Tel Aviv amid the chaos, they brought essential supplies to hospitals and military bases, supporting Israeli citizens and soldiers during a critical time. Hilton shares moving stories of bravery and resilience, including visits to wounded civilians and soldiers in makeshift hospital settings and interactions with local communities affected by the violence.
- Second Solidarity Trip to Israel: In January 2024, Hilton returned to Israel with a group of business leaders and community members from Phoenix. This solidarity trip aimed to show support and deepen understanding of the situation on the ground. They visited devastated kibbutzim and the Supernova Open Air Music Festival site, where many young people were tragically k*lled. Hilton describes the emotional impact of these visits and the importance of showing solidarity with those affected.
- The Hilton Family Holocaust Education Center: Inspired by his experiences and recognizing the importance of Holocaust education, Hilton discusses his current project, the Hilton Family Holocaust Education Center in Phoenix, Arizona. Set to break ground next year, this state-of-the-art educational center will provide an immersive learning experience for thousands of students annually. Hilton details the museum’s interactive design, which aims to educate young people about the Holocaust’s historical significance and promote a message of hope and resilience.

Why sugar coat it Islam is Bad their People are Bad always have been Now Marxists Push Bs Propaganda How about Hitlers left hand was Islam
Who has seen Iran committing a genocide? Who hasn’t seen Israel committing a genocide? Iran, whatever its flaws, is not an apartheid state practicing mass ethnic cleansing. Israel is.
Palestinian wokes don’t care about murdered Israeli children
And guess what administration gives money to Iran and guess who quit production of oil in the United States
What he did in the last election? He called to stolen. Since when is speech dangerous?
14? There are already laws that say you have to be 18 to possess a firearm (21 for pistols) without adult supervision so how were they there legally with guns? Were their parents with them at the shootout?
You're right, but this was in the early 90s. Prior to 1990, gun laws varied widely by state and locality, and there was no comprehensive federal law specifically addressing minors carrying firearms. Paul introduced the "kids gun law" in Phoenix to address these gaps and provide clearer, stricter regulations at the local level.
The government is run by people like you. Sounds like your scared of your own
I'm a Gen Zer and UA-cam is a misinformation hub for both left and right. Left-wing political commentators are immensely popular on social media and among young people, although I'm not sure whether the source or the environment is the actual cause behind their popularity.
Does Israel needs to be taken out after it committed genocide?
I'M REALLY COURIOUS HOW MANY PEOPLE WATCHED A VIDEO FROM GAZA SHOWING A MASSIVE AMOUNT OF BODY BAGS, THIS IN ADDITION TO BODY BAGS SHOWING THAT PEOPLE WERE MOVING INSIDE OF THESE BODY BAGS ? TRUST, HUMMM, THE PEOPLE IN GAZA CHOSE HAMAS AS THEIR LEADERS OF GAZA. THESE PEOPLE HAD ALLOWED HAMAS TO BUILD TUNNELS WITH EXPLOSIVES UNDER THEIR HOSPITALS, THEIR SCHOOLS AND UNDER THEIR HOMES. WEREN'T THEIR PEOPLE IN GAZA THAT HAD CHEERED AND WERE CELEBRATING FOR THESE HAMAS FLYING DEMONOIDS WHEN THEY HAD ATTACKED AND TORCHERED AT LEAST 1,200 INNOCENT PEOPLE INCLUDING CHILDREN AND BABIES OCT 7TH !
OOP'S, THERE
iran must have nuclear weapons
And apartheid state commits war crimes day in and out
Thanks for ditching the nuke deal, Trump handlers.
What u talking about
I couldn’t listen because the sound was so bad
"Complete genocide of the whole area... This is what nations did in the past..." It is not right... I do not support that... You asked the question...
Well we can see how well the default solution has worked. The scenario where Israel is welcome to exist without threat doesn’t exist. The Israelites are God’s chosen people. That is a scenario of which nearby countries just cannot let stand. So Israel continues to be terrorized. But, God will present the solution in His perfect time and ultimately God and Israel and God’s chosen gentiles will win. The Bible in one paragraph.
How many Israelis did the IDF kill on Oct 7 ? Do some real investigating.
Word. I don’t get involved with either side of it but I really respect your opinion.
If memory serves...Iran announced they'd strike three days before flying their slowest and lowest drones and missiles into Israel.
Israel wants war with Iran. But Israel wants America to be in that war with Iran not itself. Just like Iraq and Syria.
Sound like you didn’t read the entire book
Israel is holding waaay more hostages than Hamas.
Free the world from Israeo
FUCK CENSORSHIP!
ua-cam.com/users/shortsreueTuFzBK8?si=w4pb056f0xG9tUmd
You poor thing - you are so misguided and spreading lies
Exactly they use the children as human shield do it looks bad for Israel, they don't care about the children.hamas are evils.
"I spent two formative years of my life slowing down a virus that mainly affected old people who hate me." Everything that happens in policy today is catered solely around these old people, and then we're called lazy and entitled for wanting the bare minimum.
usa dominance forever
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Stop before I pee.
Is this Elliot?
Everything was better under trump! Especially the moral state of this republic! Who is this yahoo?
Blah, blah, blah. Go away.
This guy has no clue what he’s talking about
Dude wtf you talking about oh wait you must be a billionaire cause this high inflation doesn't effect you. When you gas up oh wait again you don't gas up your car your chauffeur does that mundane stuff you probably don't know or care how much gas costs
Misinformation 🤣 The smell of desperation is in the air. FYI. Illegals are not in the fields they are in the cities with their hands out demanding more.
Because of the "star" aspect of Israeli society, the Orthodox Jewish Israelis never want to give up an inch of the land of Israel. Israelis also refuse to live in fear and danger from those who want to kill them.
But inflation was transitory according to the Biden administration
GOP is the party of fiscal responsibility. 🤣🤣🤣
My paycheck was better under Trump, my bills was cheaper under Trump, my food bill was cheaper under Trump, my loan interest was cheaper under Trump, had less crime under trump, jobs was everywhere under Trump. TRUMP 2024 !
Once again, Democrats CLEAN up what Republicans F*CK up. It's been the economic model for the last 40 years. Literally, without fail. Every. Single. Time.
What is this woman talking about?
You are truly under informed…wow diarrhea of the mouth.
Who's this clown ???
Why doesn't he mention all the awful policies Biden implemented that caused and continues to cause runaway inflation and our continuously increasing national debt? The "green new deal", the misnamed infrastructure bill, the mind-blowing amount of money sent to Ukraine, the open borders, making taxoayers cover student loans, etc. Anyone wo thinks the Biden administration is doing a good job is either mentally compromised or employed by them.
Who is this lying SOB?
...YABBA DABBA DOOoooo!
Don’t drink the swamp water. Nice try. Refine the BS a little more and you might get some believers.
Really, someone give this pathetic, desperate democrat a short history lesson
