Introducing: The Remarkable Klara Belkin (Trailer)

Loading player...
Most of us know the name Anne Frank. Her diary offered the world a powerful, personal lens into the Holocaust -- the fears, hopes and heartbreak of a young Jewish girl hiding from the Nazis in Amsterdam.

But Anne Frank's story ended in tragedy. In 1945, just weeks before Bergen-Belsen concentration camp was liberated, Anne died there.

In another part of that same camp, a girl named Klara Belkin was also imprisoned. Klara survived, and today lives in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

Now, 80 years after the liberation of Bergen-Belsen, reporter Brittany Caffet is sharing Klara's remarkable journey. A story of survival, resilience, and reflection in a powerful new radio series.

The Remarkable Klara Belkin, a three-part series, airs April 14, 15, and 16 on 650 CKOM and 980 CJME.
