⚡ Shortly after this podcast first aired, a German journalist reached out to me - and said she was “moved to tears” by Grandma’s story. In particular, her experiences in Dorsten transit camp. That’s because Jana Magdanz was born in Dorsten - and only this year began learning about what happened there in 1942.

💡 In this special bonus episode of the podcast we meet Jana, who’s made it her mission to tell the people of Dorsten what happened during the deportations - a story she says is not well known in Germany. She works for German Public Radio, WDR Cologne - their equivalent of the BBC.

🔎 Her report went live on 9th May, Guernsey’s Liberation Day. You can find it by following this link.
