Welcome to The Avrum Rosensweig Show: Jews, Israel & Humanity. I’m Avrum Rosensweig. My guest is Chris Siemienski, a Canadian-born writer whose life has taken him from Ottawa and Montreal to Moscow, Vienna, and eventually Poland. There he met his future wife, and together they discovered a remarkable piece of family history. Their grandfathers had fought together and escaped from a prison transport together. Chris went on to publish four children’s books. One of his characters is Inspector Parma, a pig detective in a turquoise trench coat whose cases take young readers into questions about the environment, technology, and what happens when we share too much of ourselves online. How do you write about serious subjects in a way that makes a child want to turn the page? And when you’ve lived in so many places, how do you know when you’ve finally come home? Chris, welcome to the show. Five moments from the interview 00:06:05 Seventeen rejections. Chris recalls how many times his first Inspector Parma book was turned down. 00:10:09 The spying dispute. Chris sets the scene for the diplomatic dispute that led to his family’s sudden departure from Moscow. 00:32:48 Grief and God. Chris speaks candidly about the anger he felt after his father’s death. 01:44:46 Meet Inspector Parma. Chris introduces his pig detective in a turquoise trench coat and her sidekick, a rat named Snoop. 01:46:45 The big questions inside children’s books. Chris explains how the series tackles environmental issues, deepfakes, screen addiction, and online privacy. ——🎧 The Avrum Rosensweig Show —— A one-of-a-kind, intimate schmooze-fest, hosted and produced by the endlessly curious veteran radio and TV personality, Avrum Rosensweig.

Alex Kor walked through Auschwitz with his mother more than twenty times. She had been imprisoned there as a child. What was it like to hear her tell that story while standing beside her? Welcome to The Avrum Rosensweig Show: Jews, Israel & Humanity. My guest is Dr. Alex Kor, the son of two Holocaust survivors, Eva Mozes Kor and Michael Kor, known as Mickey. Eva survived Josef Mengele’s experiments at Auschwitz. Mickey survived Buchenwald and, through his son’s eyes, remained a remarkably optimistic man. Eva became a Holocaust educator. Her deeply personal decision to forgive the Nazis stirred debate, including among fellow survivors. I’ll ask Alex what forgiveness meant to his mother, how he came to understand her decision, and where justice fits in. But I also want to meet the people Alex knew as Mom and Dad. What did they do when antisemitic slurs appeared on their own windows in Indiana? And after everything they had lived through, what did they teach their son about joy? Since Eva’s death, Alex has continued taking people to Auschwitz. He also tells both his parents’ stories in A Blessing, Not a Burden, the book he co-wrote with Graham Honaker. Alex, welcome to the show. Let’s start at home. What’s one memory that captures who your parents were when it was just the three of you? ——🎧 The Avrum Rosensweig Show —— A one-of-a-kind, intimate schmooze-fest, hosted and produced by the endlessly curious veteran radio and TV personality, Avrum Rosensweig.

Can you live with a breaking heart—and still find the strength to help others? On The Avrum Rosensweig Show, Talia Levanon, the CEO of the Israel Trauma Coalition shares an intimate account of helping Israelis navigate grief, trauma and uncertainty after October 7. She recalls therapists counselling clients by telephone while sheltering in safe rooms, and the profound challenge of rebuilding trust when home no longer feels safe. Together, we explore how children draw strength from the adults around them, how Nova survivors and their families find support, and who cares for the first responders and therapists carrying their own pain. Drawing on fifty years of service, Talia offers a deeply human understanding of resilience: recognizing our vulnerability while discovering our capacity to cope. This is a conversation about kindness, connection and the daily work of keeping hope alive. ——🎧 The Avrum Rosensweig Show —— A one-of-a-kind, intimate schmooze-fest, hosted and produced by the endlessly curious veteran radio and TV personality, Avrum Rosensweig.

What does it take to question everything you were taught—and choose a different life, knowing what it could cost you? On The Avrum Rosensweig Show, Dor Shachar, author of From Gaza to Tel Aviv, shares his extraordinary journey. Born Ayman Abu Soobuch and raised as a Muslim in Gaza, Dor describes growing up surrounded by anti-Jewish indoctrination—and the encounters that gave him the courage to question it. He recounts enduring torture at the hands of Hamas, escaping to Israel, and ultimately embracing Judaism. What happens when the people you were taught to hate become the people you call your own? In this deeply personal conversation, we explore the kindness that challenged Dor’s beliefs, the painful price of leaving his former life, and his determination to build a future rooted in faith, belonging, and peace.

Hitler was dead. Germany had surrendered. But for the Americans hunting the architects of Nazi terror, the mission was far from over. Today on The Avrum Rosensweig Show, we explore the pursuit of some of history’s most notorious criminals—and the young soldiers charged with finding them amid the ruins of the Third Reich. My guest is Charles Lachman, author and executive producer of Inside Edition. In his book, They Shall Not See the Dawn: The Manhunt for the Third Reich’s Most Wanted, Charles tells the extraordinary story of American counterintelligence agents racing to capture surviving Nazi leaders as fears spread that an underground movement might continue Hitler’s struggle. Their targets included Hermann Göring, Ernst Kaltenbrunner and Julius Streicher—men whose capture would help bring the crimes of the Nazi regime before the world at Nuremberg. Along the way, we encounter an unexpected figure: a young American soldier named Henry Kissinger. We also confront disturbing questions surrounding the American hangman who carried out the Nuremberg executions—and whether the suffering of the condemned resulted from incompetence or deliberate cruelty. At the heart of this history lies a question that still challenges us: How do we bring the perpetrators of unimaginable evil to justice without abandoning the principles we seek to defend? Charles brings a journalist’s curiosity and a storyteller’s eye to the people behind this pursuit, their dangerous assignments and the weight of what they uncovered.
