thePodcast: Vancouver journalist keeps Holocaust survivor's memory alive

Guest Keith Morgan, author of Ruta's Closet.

Former Vancouver Province newspaper reporter Keith Morgan is fulfilling the wish of the late Ruth Kron Sigal, every day.

Morgan collaborated with the Holocaust survivor on her memoir, Ruta’s Closet, originally published in 2009. Before she died at age 72 in 2008, Sigal urged Morgan to keep telling her story of surviving a Jewish ghetto in Nazi-occupied Lithuania. To reach new audiences, to combat antisemitism.

In the aftermath of the the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas attack on Israel, Ruta’s Closet has been republished. It has spawned a website, a study guide for schoolchildren and a forthcoming podcast series.

Morgan is this week’s guest on thePodcast.
