Where you find this story: Yasha’s voice pierces personal history. Remarkable narration relates what matters. This is where writing what you know delivers what’s next: survival.
Phenomenal. WWII is a fascinating time in history with so much to learn. This story really humanized the time on a granular level and from a different perspective than I’ve heard before. Hearing it told by the old man who lived it and the grandson who learned it was an inspiration. I want to hug them both, then call my own grandparents. I can’t wait to hear the rest of Yasha’s story.
This is a richly crafted true story of a very dark period in human history told through the eyes of a young boy. It’s a story of displacement and the unfathomable suffering and cruelty experienced by one family, and at the same time, an inspiring story of resilience, determination and courage. I cannot recommend this podcast enough.
