Listen and learn from a 16-year-old master historian – and hear some incredible interviews!

Today we are joined by a very special high school kid: historian Jaxon Hekkenberg. Jaxon is doing remarkable things, teaching us all how we can save history. You’ll hear clips from just a few of the incredible interviews Jaxon has carried out. There are no graphic descriptions – just listen out for incredible stories from veterans from BOTH SIDES of World War II.

At the end of today’s episode there are bags of extras (after our outro theme song) – including an insight into the Hekkenberg family’s own World War II family history!
