Speaker 1: Hi there, listeners. Brian Seymour here we wanted to share
Speaker 1: with you a powerful new podcast that some of our
Speaker 1: Lady Vanishes team have been involved with. The four part
Speaker 1: series tells the incredible life story of one of Australia's
Speaker 1: oldest living survivors of Auschwitz.
Speaker 2: In his own words, the Holocaust remains one of the
Speaker 2: darkest chapters in human history. Adolf Hitler's concentration camps and
Speaker 2: extermination centers redefined evil. Auschwitz was the most deadly, the
Speaker 2: site of the largest single mass murder the world has
Speaker 2: ever witnessed. An estimated one point three million people were
Speaker 2: sent to the camp, more than one point one million died,
Speaker 2: and of those prisoners who made it out, tens of
Speaker 2: thousands of them were too weak or sick to live
Speaker 2: more than a few days, weeks or months. Today, very
Speaker 2: few are still alive. The last survivors and their stories
Speaker 2: are now scattered across the globe. So when I found
Speaker 2: out one of those stories was waiting to be told
Speaker 2: just down the road from my home here in Australia,
Speaker 2: I knew I needed to meet this ninety eight year
Speaker 2: old for myself. Just record on that cool what you're
Speaker 2: about to hear. Is the unbelievable journey of a boy
Speaker 2: from Holland who survived the horrors of the Holocaust to
Speaker 2: become a hockey legend. On the ice. He was known
Speaker 2: as the Flying Dutchman, and no death row or death
Speaker 2: camp could click his wings.
Speaker 1: I was given a life and I will defend the best.
Speaker 2: Like her voices, and now, as he fights his final
Speaker 2: battle against a slow and silent killer, David Dickie Gruntman
Speaker 2: wants you to hear his words in the hope humanity
Speaker 2: may finally learn from its evil past.
Speaker 1: The Flying Dutchman is out now wherever you find your podcasts.
