“After listening to the daughter of holocaust survivors I challenge you to now interview survivors of the Israeli occupation and “nukba”.
The holocaust attitude is alive in so many ways. But so few are brave enough to talk about it.”

“David Freudberg has curated a wonderful series. His well-researched programs are on a variety of humankind topics. But they are not just delivered in a fact-based way. Instead Mr Freudberg crafts each story from the point of view of what will heal and inspire his listeners. Well done, Mr. F!”
