Yasha

A history podcast from Jeremy Gendelman
Website: https://www.yashashow.com
Includes transcripts

Experience the harrowing true story of a Jewish boy and his family’s 6-year flight across the Soviet Union during World War II. When the Nazi invasion threatens their small town in Belarus, 11-year-old Yasha’s mother makes a decision that will save the lives of generations to come: the decision to flee. What follows is an odyssey spanning thousands of miles across a war-torn nation, caught between Hitler’s advancing forces and Stalin’s iron rule. Built from testimony recorded by his grandson on an old camcorder, Yasha brings to life a childhood defined by upheaval, scarcity, and war, where growing up meant never standing still.
