Bonus Episode Our Freedom Then and Now, Mikaela and Miriam Freedman
In this bonus episode of Our Freedom: Then and Now, Mikaela Agranati reflects on the life of survivor Miriam Freedman, who spent more than a year hiding in an impossibly confined space with her family. Mikaela explores how Miriam later turned to meditation to face the shadows of her past, and how knowing her has profoundly shaped Mikaela’s own journey of self-discovery. Through Miriam’s resilience, Mikaela has learned what empathy can look like in practice: noticing others, creating space for their stories, and carrying forward the quiet strength of those who came before.

Bonus Episode Our Freedom then and now; Josh reflects on Leon Greenman OBE
In this bonus episode of Our Freedom: Then and Now, Josh Rocker reflects on meeting survivor Leon Greenman when he was just seven years old, an encounter that shaped him in ways he only fully understands now. Josh traces Leon’s extraordinary post-war life, shaped by a promise he made in the camps: to warn the world about the dangers of fascism, no matter the cost. Leon’s fierce commitment made him a target of the far right; a brick was once thrown through his window, forcing him to live behind wire mesh again, a haunting echo of his past. Through Josh’s eyes, we see how one survivor’s courage, clarity, and refusal to stay silent can leave an enduring mark on the next generation.

Bonus Episode Our Freedom Then and now; Jack remembers Rebecca
In this bonus episode of Our Freedom: Then and Now, Jack Nicholls reflects on the life of Rebecca Groen from the Netherlands, a relative whose story has long been defined only by her death in Auschwitz. With so few details surviving, Jack sets out to rediscover who Rebecca was during her 71 years of life, hoping to bring back some of the everyday colour and humanity that has been lost over time. Jack’s reflection is a gentle attempt to remember Rebecca as more than a victim; to acknowledge the full life she lived, not only the way her life ended.
