In our first ever episode, AJEX National Chair Dan Fox is joined by Daniel Berke, author of 'Captured Behind Japanese Lines'. It is a story he felt compelled to tell: of his grandfather's experiences as a Wingate Chindit and Prisoner of War in Burma, in World War II.
Frank Berkovitch was a Jewish tailor from Manchester, thrown into the most challenging and terrifying of circumstances. In researching his book, Daniel retraced Frank's steps through India and Burma, to reveal a story of great courage, resilience and ingenuity.
