Justice: A Holocaust Zombie Story - Trailer Aug 16, 2024

Show notes

When Kat discovers her Jewish heritage in her 20s, she quickly packs her bags to meet her estranged family in Berlin—only to be thrust into the middle of a burgeoning global crisis when zombified Holocaust victims begin rising from the mass graves of former concentration camps. While the German government panics and antisemitic conspiracy theorists run amok with online hate, Kat realizes nobody is listening to the victims themselves, one of whom is not only peaceful—but mysteriously drawn to her.

Justice: A Holocaust Zombie Story is an original seven-part fiction audio drama, produced by The CJN Podcast Network in association with the Ashkenaz Foundation and Dandelion Theatre.

Join us at our free launch event, a live staged reading of excerpts from the production, at the Ashkenaz Festival in downtown Toronto on Aug. 31, 2024, at 6 p.m. Details here.
