This is so powerful! As this man follows the clues left to him by his mother, he takes you on the journey of fear, horror, amazement, humanity and joy. Touching and emotional. Goosebumps!

Interesting story. The exaggerated narrator voice of the host is a pity though, his normal voice is much nicer to listen to.

I highly recommend this podcast. It was heartbreaking to listen to at times, but very timely given everything going on in the world right now. It supplemented my visit to the special exhibit at the Royal Ontario Museum “Auschwitz. Not long ago. Not far away.” If you are in Toronto, I would highly recommend the special exhibit, which is at the ROM until September 2025. Thank you for sharing your family’s story!

Palestinian children are not proxies for Germans. Germans paid r... more
