Iby and Carolyn - A Survivor's Secret
Iby survived the Holocaust, but kept her secret for 40 years. Now the friend to whom she first revealed that she'd spent time in Auschwitz asks her why she waited so long.
Fi Glover introduces a conversation between Iby, who survived the Holocaust but kept her secret for forty years, and the friend to whom she first revealed that she'd spent time in Auschwitz; nearly thirty years on Carolyn asks her why she waited so long to share her past.
The Listening Project is a Radio 4 initiative that offers a snapshot of contemporary Britain in which people across the UK volunteer to have a conversation with someone close to them about a subject they've never discussed intimately before. The conversations are being gathered across the UK by teams of producers from local and national radio stations who facilitate each encounter. Every conversation - they're not Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ interviews, and that's an important difference - lasts up to an hour, and is then edited to extract the key moment of connection between the participants. Most of the unedited conversations are being archived by the British Library and used to build up a collection of voices capturing a unique portrait of the UK in the second decade of the millennium. You can upload your own conversations or just learn more about The Listening Project by visiting bbc.co.uk/listeningproject
Producer: Marya Burgess.
