    This particular episode seems to be very inaccurate. For example: they had to hurry up and get dressed and make their beds. This makes it sound like they had changes of clean clothes, pillows and blankets. I don't believe that was the case. Also, to call what they were served "a meal" seems grossly inappropriate. They were basically starving these prisoners.

  • Compassionate, Comprehensive

    This podcast is incredibly well done—factual and compassionate. As an English speaker, I enjoy hearing a bit of the Polish and then the English translation. I am grateful to the museum and to the producers of this podcast for making sure this horrific and important piece of history is not lost and is as well understood as possible by as many who want to learn.
