‘Justice: A Holocaust Zombie Story’, Episode 6: The meaning of mishpocha

The penultimate episode of our fiction podcast.

Welcome to episode 6 of The CJN’s 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 the penultimate episode, Avrum delivers a shocking revelation about who Yankel really is. This leads Kat to panic about her impulsive decision to collaborate with Agent Hassan and the German government—but it may be too late. She quickly rendezvouses with Tema and Jacob to come up with a last-minute plan to save themselves and Yankel when a serendipitous phone call may answer their prayers.
