S2 E2, Part 1: Shonaleigh and "The Fool of the Warsaw Ghetto"

In the first part of this special two-part episode, Sam and Alex look at a vibrant part of Jewish culture that was nearly lost during the Holocaust: the drut’syla storytelling tradition.

Special guest Shonaleigh Cumbers, believed to be the last living drut’syla, talks to the girls about the tradition and her life and experiences as a storyteller. She also offers some insights into her incredible story The Fool of the Warsaw Ghetto, a beautiful and bittersweet story about three children who, in the final roundup after the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, encounter a man who offers them what could be another chance at life. Dare they trust the man with a coat like beggar’s velvet?
