In this episode, Sheena interviews Tomi Reichental, a Holocaust survivor, who shares his harrowing story of being incarcerated at the Bergen Belsen concentration camp at the age of nine. Tomi recounts the persecution inflicted upon Jewish families in Slovakia under President Josef Tiso's regime, the dehumanising experiences faced by Jews, and the horrors of life in the concentration camps. Despite the immense suffering, Tomi represents hope, teaching valuable lessons on humanity, empathy, and the importance of remembering history to prevent future atrocities. His conversation with Sheena highlights the dangers of propaganda and the critical need for kindness in a world filled with conflict and hate.
