I am finding your podcast to be super informative and interesting. The interviewer does an amazing job and does not get in the way of the guest speaking. I’m traveling to Poland next month where I will be visiting places where a great number of my family members were murdered. I am wondering if you have done or are potentially interested in doing a podcast on the extermination camp Chelmnow. Also I will be leaving a five star review. Thank you so much for all that you are doing! -Sue-
