Ike Alterman is one of a few remaining Holocaust survivors still alive to tell their story. He survived four death camps, including Auschwitz-Birkenau. A 'Windermere Boy' he was one of around 700 Jewish children sent to Great Britain at the end of the war and became a successful businessman in Manchester.
His friend Raphi Bloom is a director at The Fed - a social care charity for the Greater Manchester Jewish community. The charity runs the My Voice project, which helps Holocaust survivors and refugees, who settled in Greater Manchester after the Second World War, to document their lives in individual books and podcasts.
Here Raphi talks about travelling with his friend to the former Treblinka extermination camp, where Ike's mother, sister and brother were murdered by the Nazis.
