Fascinating account

Sad, gripping, and funny...! Highlights how different times were with technology, familial expectations, and cultural clashes. Kudos to Daniel for bringing it to light.

unbelievable and utterly absorbing

I really enjoyed this. I didn't know what it was about and hadn't read any synopsis. The narrator and his family seemed likeable, especially the narrator. I was hooked from the start and kept kind of shaking my head at it all.

painful

Difficult to listen to, but compelling. You want to scream at the mum but they seem like two people so lacking in empathy you cry for all their children.

So interesting

An amazing story which comes from such a simple act, but causes more emotional turmoil than you would expect. This would make a great film !!!

A moving story

This was one of the most moving podcasts I have heard for a long time. The fact that one mans selfish actions caused so much damage to the wider family and their offspring is shocking, a ripple effect of disaster and life-changing effects but to hear the process of acceptance, discussion and a form of healing is heartwarming. This is a must! :)

Compulsive

l Loved it! Historical recount made even more enjoyable by interviews etc with the main characters. Enjoyed the fact that music and sound effects were introduced to bring the story to life.

intriguing, well told.

good story, a little history of the old Jewish east end. But varying levels of volume between narration and interviews was annoying.
