Stephen Kapos: The Holocaust survivor who leads pro-Palestine protests

0
In this episode of UNAPOLOGETIC we speak with pro-Palestine advocate Stephen Kapos, who survived the Holocaust as a child in Nazi-occupied Hungary.

In this candid interview, he recalls his time in a Jewish refugee home, hiding his identity with other children to avoid Nazi detection.

He reflects on memory, survival, and the different paths his family took after the war, including his journey to London. Kapos also shares how visits to Israel opened his eyes to the country’s racism – both systemic and societal.

We explore what justice looks like after atrocity, how Holocaust memory is politicised by Israel to justify war crimes, and what “Never Again” really means in today’s world.

UNAPOLOGETIC is a show that unapologetically looks at the life, times and views of some unapologetic and not so unapologetic humans. Hosted by Ashfaaq Carim
