So for me it was important to hear how people got through and what they experienced. I wish my...”Read full review »

“I really enjoyed the stories in this podcast. In the first couple episodes the use of actors to re-create the voices of earlier generations was a bit hokey. But stick with it, it gets much better as it gets deeper into the story. If you don’t know the history of what happened to people who were...”Read full review »

But few families have a writer with the talent and soul of David Modigliani who can bring together the threads of generations of his family and weave them into a tapestry for the ages. How many of us know the story of the...”Read full review »

“I enjoyed podcast very much and stories like these should continue to be told to remind of us that horror. I do agree though with another reviewer about drawing the American right today into the story. Maybe in that time it was the right but today it is the left. Look at what is going on at the...”Read full review »
