Send us Fan MailEpisode 196: Echoes of the Past with Joe GartenIn this deeply moving episode of Echoes of the Past, host Zachary Graulich sits down with Holocaust survivor and Kindertransport refugee Joe Garten. Joe shares his remarkable journey from Nazi Germany to safety in England, and eventually to the United States. With warmth, candor, and a touch of humor, he recounts the heartbreak of separation, the kindness of strangers, and the resilience it took to rebuild a life after unimaginable loss.Listeners will hear about Joe’s childhood escape from Berlin, life with a British foster family during WWII, his postwar reunion with his parents, and how he found his voice decades later to educate young people about the Holocaust. Joe’s testimony is a testament to memory, survival, and the power of sharing our stories—especially when fewer and fewer survivors remain to tell them.This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to understand the personal impact of history, the strength of the human spirit, and why Holocaust education remains as vital today as ever.Support the show
