In this episode we focus on Mick's life as a child growing up in Jerusalem under the British mandate, and in the harsh and dangerous conditions immediately following the formation of the state of Israel, as Arab armies lay siege to the city. Bombings, sniper fire, power cuts and lack of food and water weighed heavily on the residents of Jerusalem. But as we will learn, when the grownups are tied down fighting a real war, the kids have absolute freedom to revel in such an extreme environment and make their own fun.
