Eighty years after the Second World War, the events of October 7 have revived fears among Jews that many believed were confined to history. Journalist and author Aaron Heller, in his new book 'Zaidy's Band', explores the untold story of his grandfather, a Canadian Jewish navigator during the war, and the 1.5 million Jews who fought in the Allied armies. Heller reflects on how these stories of courage and resilience offer strength in the face of rising anti-semitism and current existential threats to Israel. By sharing his grandfather's journey and the silence of a generation, Heller highlights the enduring lessons of perseverance that continue to shape Jewish identity today.
