Today we’re talking to not one, but two guests — a journalist, Daniela Gerson (right), and her wife Talia Inlender, who’s an immigration lawyer in Los Angeles. Daniela’s the author of THE WANDERERS, a new book about their Jewish grandparents, who all escaped the Holocaust from eastern Poland by heading east — though not together, and the coincidence they discovered about their family histories will be worth the price of admission. We talk about World War II history, fleeing the Third Reich, and about how the past is not really past.

This episode has a mild echo on Talia’s feed, which vanishes after a while. We’re on a budget around here. For that reason, please upgrade to a paid subscription to Radio Free Mike!
