Episode notes
On the pilot episode of Efemeral, I speak with one of the leading female activists of our time and her unbelievable involvement in the Vietnam War. Cora Weiss is a four time Nobel Peace Prize nominee whose dedication to anti-war protests, legislation on women and children's safety in wartime, and anti-apartheid efforts in South Africa is recognized internationally. Before her time as the President of the Hague Appeal for Peace and the UN Representative of the International Peace Bureau, Weiss organized the exchange of mail between families and POW’s in Vietnam and was on the plane that brought the first batch home from overseas.
