  • Summary

  • What does it look like when fascism turns your country upside down?

    How do you fight bigotry and hatred when hopelessness and apathy have set in?

    How does individual action make a difference in the quest for equality and freedom?

    And what is so important about the post office?

    These are not questions about modern day America, these are questions we investigate about 1940s Hungary.

Everyone is right!

I really tried to listen to this but it was like two grandmas telling you their family tree speckled with assumptions of the records they found

It has a nice title and it ends there

Terrible

I do not want to hear the authors political opinions. Just tell your story.
I could not, after many attempts, keep listening.

Interesting and very pertinent

This series proves that it never hurts to try to get answers from people who lived through WWII, before they are all gone. Kudos to the author for not giving up! I appreciate the commentary about how fascism is rising to the fore again, in the US and elsewhere.

Worst ever

not a normal podcast. First sentence calling the 2016 conservative N@zi and fascist. Would not recommend. Seemed interested but not good. very sad how this could be on audible.

Worst ever

Monotone poorly written and pulled modern election debacle into story. Horrible. I would volunteer for a root canal first.
