This podcast tells the story of the last moments of a mother's life and how she saved her child in an unexpected moment of kismet and courage. It's the sorrow and hope in the hearts of thousands of people one day, at the end of World War II, when they were asked 'give us the best you have – give us your children'. This monologue is part of Singing the Bones, the international, touring theatrical play and feature film of the same name.
