Eleanor Reissa Discusses Holocaust Podcast

This week's Yiddish Voice presents an interview with
Eleanor Reissa, narrator of Those Who Were
There, a new podcast from Yale University’s Fortunoff Video
Archive for Holocaust Testimonies. Survivors and witnesses of the
Holocaust are the subjects of the podcast, which just released
its second season featuring witness interviews conducted by New
York's Museum of Jewish Heritage. Eleanor Reissa is a singer,
actress, director, and writer, on both the English and Yiddish
stages. In the interview Reissa discusses not only the podcast
and her role in it, but also her own connection to the Holocaust
as the daughter of Holocaust survivors, as well as a look back
and an update on her work as an actress and singer. Eleanor
