Bringing you a special episode this week from my new podcast - You Haven't Heard The Half Of It. Looking at the hidden half of history with my co-host, Simon Cole from Hackney Tours. If you enjoy the episode, why not subscribe to that too where ever you get your podcasts.
This episode looks at how history often casts Jews as a passive victim, whether it is the pogroms or the Holocaust. A brilliant new book called the Light of Days by Judy Batalion reframes this narrative. But It’s a complex situation that gets tangled up in different Jewish factions, survivors’ guilt and the positioning of women’s narratives more generally.
