Description

There are many tales of individuals and groups helping Jews during the terrifying years under Nazi rule across Europe. They gave them safe spaces to stay, helped them escape or gave them food and other essentials. Karen Kirsten grew up in Australia listening to her mother's story of being kept by nuns during that time. Kirsten shares memories of her pilgrimage to Poland to find the nuns, with GBH's Stories From The Stage.
