Ep002 - 1911 Grandpa Walter

In this episode we go further back in time to follow Mick’s father, Walter. We learn how Walter’s formative experience as a Jewish medical student in 1930’s Germany pushed him to leave his homeland to escape the Nazis and antisemitism. What follows is an amazing life story, as Walter negotiates the political upheavals of pre-war Europe, finds the love of his life in Prague, fights as part of the allied armed forces in the second world war, becomes a commander in the Israeli war of independence, and finds his way as a doctor through decades of military and civilian duty in Israel.
