A personal and historical journey in Hansen House

from Kan English · host כאן | Kan

Hansen House, the historic Jerusalem building that currently serves as a cultural hub, once housed what was known as a leper asylum, a site that fascinated and mystified the public. For Rivka Gita Regev, the architectural marvel was home. During the 1960s, she lived in the compound of what was then known as the Hansen Government hospital, where her father served as the volunteer resident physician. Her memoir, "My Wanderings in the Gardens: The Legacy of Hansen House in Jerusalem" takes readers on a personal and historical journey. She spoke to KAN reporter Naomi Segal (Photo: Screenshot) See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
