For this podcast’s second episode, we take a deep dive into the life of Magdalene Kruse, a German teen at the time of the Second World War. In a story told by Maximillian Lütgens, Magdalene’s grandson, we learn about the close contact she had with bombs, soldiers, traumas and about how people who survived the war overcame those traumas, making them even more “mentally strong” than before.
