The Hidden Holocaust Papers: Survival. Exile. Return. – Details, episodes & analysis

When mysterious boxes land on his Vancouver doorstep, best-selling Canadian author Timothy Taylor embarks on a journey of discovery that takes him to Germany and into a hidden family history, spoken about rarely and in whispered tones. Following the breadcrumbs from remote farmhouses to the well-appointed offices of Germany’s cultural elite, Timothy’s on a mission to piece together his family’s experiences of persecution, death, exile and survival under the Nazis, to make sure his mother and grandparents are properly commemorated, to give voice to those the Nazis tried to silence. As Timothy excavates the centuries-long history of his once-prominent German-Jewish family, he asks what that legacy means for him, and us, today. 

A six-part documentary podcast series that delves into the family history of best-selling Canadian author Timothy Taylor, uncovering stories of persecution, resilience, and survival during the Holocaust.

This podcast is funded by the Vancouver Holocaust Education Centre and produced by The Walrus Lab.
