Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi there, listeners. Brian Seymour here we wanted to share
with you a powerful new podcast that some of our
Lady Vanishes team have been involved with. The four part
series tells the incredible life story of one of Australia's
oldest living survivors of Auschwitz.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
In his own words, the Holocaust remains one of the
darkest chapters in human history. Adolf Hitler's concentration camps and
extermination centers redefined evil. Auschwitz was the most deadly, the

(00:44):
site of the largest single mass murder the world has
ever witnessed. An estimated one point three million people were
sent to the camp, more than one point one million died,
and of those prisoners who made it out, tens of
thousands of them were too weak or sick to live

(01:05):
more than a few days, weeks or months. Today, very
few are still alive. The last survivors and their stories
are now scattered across the globe. So when I found
out one of those stories was waiting to be told
just down the road from my home here in Australia,

(01:27):
I knew I needed to meet this ninety eight year
old for myself. Just record on that cool what you're
about to hear. Is the unbelievable journey of a boy
from Holland who survived the horrors of the Holocaust to
become a hockey legend. On the ice. He was known

(01:51):
as the Flying Dutchman, and no death row or death
camp could click his wings.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
I was given a life and I will defend the best.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
Like her voices, and now, as he fights his final
battle against a slow and silent killer, David Dickie Gruntman
wants you to hear his words in the hope humanity
may finally learn from its evil past.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
The Flying Dutchman is out now wherever you find your podcasts.
