Listen "Disabled and living through the California wildfires: “You live on edge”"
Episode Synopsis
Facing the California wildfires when you’re disabled and marking Holocaust Memorial Day
As the California wildfires continue to burn we hear the stories of disabled Los Angeles residents, Carrie and Joci, who had to make decisions around whether to evacuate or not, and if so, how they would do it without plans in place.
To mark Holocaust Memorial Day, Dr Helen Atherton talks to Access All about the Nazis' Aktion T4 programme which killed thousands of disabled people they considered “undesirable”. Dr Atherton discovered 13 of those killed were British-born and has created an exhibition to honour them called Finding Ivy. We also talk to Nancy Jennings, the great niece of one of the victims, Zdenko Hoyos.
Plus Katie the Wheeled Piper plays for us on her adapted bagpipes. The 18-year-old had the honour of piping in the haggis for the BBC’s Burns Night Extravaganza which is broadcast on 25 January and will be available on BBC iPlayer afterwards.
