For fifteen-year-old Walter, the world was a small plot of land and the four walls of the family home in Poland. But in 1939, Nazi boots kicked in the front door and that world shattered in a heartbeat.
Walter, and his siblings, were forced to watch their father being dragged away towards the tree line, a walk from which no one ever returned.
This week we are joined by Rafal, Walter's stepson and our first ever guest on Honourable Mentions, as he tells his own life story and how, over time, Walter revealed more and more about the horrors and undiluted joys of his own time on earth. From arriving in the United States in 1951, to meeting Rafal's mom and arranging to adopt the nine-year-old boy who arrived at JFK airport in the late eighties without a word of English.
Rafal's tale is sad, funny, but above all life affirming and brimming over with optimism. It will leave you wishing we could all be a bit more Walter.
