Malka Lawrence speaks with Nina Bassat AM, a Holocaust survivor whose childhood was marked by unimaginable hardship and loss under Nazi persecution. Having rebuilt her life in Australia, she has dedicated herself to bearing witness, educating future generations, and standing firmly against all forms of hatred. In the face of growing global antisemitism, Nina’s story offers a powerful and necessary personal insight into today’s challenges. Her reflections serve as both a moral compass and a powerful warning, drawing urgent parallels between past and present.

Morry Frenkel speaks with Chip Le Grand, Chief Reporter for The Age newspaper, about the articles he has written since the recent arson attack on the East Melbourne Synagogue, the storming of the Israeli restaurant, Miznon, and the arson and graffiti attacks in Greensborough. Chip talks about the implication of these events - and the rise in antisemitism in general - on the local Jewish and non-Jewish communities, and the need for Victoria Police to uphold the law. He also is critical of the campaign against Australia’s Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism, Jillian Segal AO and her report, Special Envoy’s Plan to Combat Antisemitism, a policy-oriented framework for government and the Australian community. Chip argues that the strength of the report lies more in its findings of where the problems lie: in universities, the public broadcasters and the public service.

Maurice Klein speaks with young pro-Israel activist Sophie with her mother Marnie. Sophie spoke at the recent We Stand United Against Terrorism rally in Melbourne. Speaking with absolute conviction at the rally, we hear from Sophie that at the age of fifteen she is a proud Jew and proud Zionist and that you are never too young to advocate. Speaking out against the Jew-hatred and terrorism now plaguing Australia, Sophie tells us that the hatred is un-Australian and that it is not just a Jewish issue, it is a human issue. Sophie's mission is to empower both young Jews and non-Jews to stand up for what they believe in and what is right. Post-October 7 2023, Sophie has been very proactive with her advocacy on social media, wanting to educate her peer group about the truth by setting up her Instagram account Israelisreal _18. Kol Hakavod Sophie, Yasher Koach, keep up your great work, L'Chaim -To Life is going to follow you and your Israelisreal_18 Instagram posts.
