Postcards to a Little Boy w/ Henry Foner

This week I’m talking to Kindertransportee Henry Foner. Henry was born Heinz Lichtwitz in 1932 in Berlin, and with WW2 looming, was taken in by the UK as part of a unique relief effort to rescue ~10,000 predominantly Jewish children from Western Europe - called the Kindertransport.  Henry, like all of these children, said goodbye to his family in 1938 not knowing when or if they’d see each other again. Henry’s father Max sent him postcards, all of which have been compiled into a book called, “Postcards to a Little Boy”, published by Yad Vashem. It's a heartbreaking and enlighting story that to date has never been told within the medium of podcasting - one that unfortunately is now just on the cusp of living memory. “Postcards to a Little Boy” is available on Amazon or at the Yad Vashem webstore - store.yadvashem.org -- This episode is sponsored by Northern Powerhouse Media.
