In this episode Jewish feminist Professor Melissa Raphael reflects with Ian on the power of the sisterhoods in Auschwitz. This leads to a wider conversation on the sacredness of the face in the Judeo-Christian tradition and its debasement in contemporary culture, including this last year through the normalisation of masks and virtual screens. Both reflect at the end on the growing illiberalism of the so-called cancel culture and the urgent need to inject some common sense into the conversation about gender and identity.
