Welcome to episode 5 of The CJN’s first-ever audio drama, Justice: A Holocaust Zombie Story, produced in association with the Ashkenaz Festival and Dandelion Theatre.
If you’re just tuning in now, we recommend listening to the series from the beginning:
In this episode, the protagonists call their Bubbe, a survivor who lived through the Sachsenhausen concentration camp, who reveals new information about the zombie. Meanwhile, word of the epidemic spreads rapidly across international media, as journalists, talk show hosts, conspiracy theorists and religious leaders interpret the zombies’ rise in vastly different ways. Later, Kat meets with Avrum and shares her secret plan—but he doesn’t take it well.
