My Mamusha

A promise made in a wartime hospital.A child who could not be discovered.A woman who refused to leave him behind.This episode of A Small Light follows Gertruda Babilinska and Michael Stolowitzky across one of the most extraordinary acts of devotion to come out of the Holocaust.From a mansion in Warsaw to the Vilna ghetto, from a freezing sewer to the deck of the Exodus 1947, this is a story that spans continents, war zones, and years of impossible decisions.At its heart, it is the story of a woman who was asked, again and again, to abandon one small Jewish boy.And every single time—she refused.Support the Podcast: A Small Light is an independent, listener-supported podcast.If you’d like to support this work, you can buy me a coffee here:☕ https://buymeacoffee.com/shifra.ruth Follow along for more stories of courage and humanity in the darkest of times: 📱 TikTok & Instagram: @a.small.light.podcast
