Welcome to a truly riveting episode of

table read or Weak has poured ourselves

0:15

back to the tumultuous era of nineteen forties

0:17

Europe, delving into one of the most

0:19

harrowing chapters in history, the

0:22

persecution of Jews. Our

0:24

story unfolds in Hungary, the last

0:26

remaining safe haven for Jews in war torn

0:28

Europe. Against the oppressive

0:30

backdrop of the Nuremberg Laws, crafted

0:33

specifically to strip away their rights and identities,

0:36

Hungarians Jews cling to fragments of

0:38

normalcy in their daily lives. However,

0:42

a shadow lurks on the horizon, as hungry

0:44

as allegiance shifts closer towards

0:46

Nazi Germany, ushering a new

0:49

era of persecution. The

0:51

story is the chronicle of that profound transformation

0:54

and how one very human and very

0:56

flawed family, the Cat's Family,

0:59

rise up to father the new wave of anti

1:01

Semitism and become known as

1:04

their Vessakucha, a clandestine

1:06

group of brave Hungarian Jews whose

1:08

name, when translated into English, means

1:11

mad dogs. Through

1:14

their violent and harrowing tactics, the

1:16

Vessakucha acquired a notorious reputation

1:19

as fierce protectors of their fellow Jews,

1:22

and there's a beacon of hope lighting

1:24

the way through an ever growing darkness.

1:27

And now we are proud to present

1:30

love and darkness, drawing

1:53

on our Jewish values and history. For

1:55
