Special Episode - Arek Hersh
In this special episode I speak with photographer Sam Churchill.
We discuss Sam's experiences with survivor Arek Hersh and how he uses photography as a way to bear witness to his testimony.
Sam has worked as a professional photographer for 10 years and has had images printed in The Times, The Guardian, various international publications, and even a first class stamp!
Since 2015 Sam has worked on a project to document the return of Holocaust survivors to Poland and Germany in their final years, motivated by his family's personal connection to the Holocaust.

This week we're in Albania. Fab.
A short and sweet episode this week but a remarkable story on how Albania ended up with a larger Jewish population than it began with.
Not much more needs to be said, give it a listen.

A must listen
Informative, interesting, and approachable. Each episode helps me understand very dark topics but in a digestible way. A must listen for anyone wanting to know more about the Holocaust or genocide. Esther is a great speaker and shares this information as if she is a friend, and not just a Holocaust scholar. Highly recommend
