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.

Maurice Klein speaks with award- winning filmmaker Hugh Kitson, writer, producer and director of the two-part documentary film “Whose Land?”. The documentary with presenter Col Richard Kemp CBE and a group of expert historians and international lawyers, examines the conflicting claims to the land of Israel, through the eyes of verifiable history and international law. Douglas Murray’s review of the film states: "‘Whose Land?’ dismantles the lies that have been told about Israel since 1948. In doing so it mounts a defense of Israeli legitimacy through masterly presentation from Col Richard Kemp and other experts. They adduce fact after fact to show that Israel, far from violating International Law, is upholding it. Words like ‘occupation’ and ‘settlements’ have become popular smears against Israel, but they have no legal basis whatsoever. Hugh Kitson has directed a production that exposes these specious legal arguments for what they are: vicious anti-Israel propaganda. I would recommend ‘Whose Land?’ to anyone seeking the truth about Israel and the wider Middle East.". To purchase a copy of “Whose Land?” and to support Hugh Kitson's important work go to www.whoseland.tv, contact him at hugh.kitson@titledeedmedia.com, or watch it at www.youtube.com/@whoseland.

Morry Frenkel speaks with Katia Ariel, author of the memoir, The Swift Dark Tide, which was short-listed for the prestigious Stella prize in 2024, and the recently published Ferryman: The Life and Deathwork of Ephraim Finch, the biography of a remarkable man who devoted 30 years of his life to the service of the Jewish community while working at the Melbourne Chevra Kadisha. Katia talks about how she came to write Ferryman, the effect on her of interacting with Ephraim, observing the love he felt when he described consoling the bereaved, and the responsibility she felt in writing about these experiences. Katia also speaks about the role Cas – Ephraim’s wife - has played in his life by enabling him to give himself almost wholly to the community while at the same time being an integral part of local Jewish life herself. Both The Swift Dark Tide and Ferryman: The Life and Deathwork of Ephraim Finch are available in bookstores and through the internet, and are highly recommended.
