About this episode

The episode tells the story of a Jewish boy who escaped the Holocaust, became a war hero, and built a fortune, but whose life was filled with deception and betrayal.

Hey Slaycaters, you are in for a real treat. Kim (and Jerry) have truly outdone themselves with an epic tale that feels more like a Hollywood thriller than real life. Call it 'Death of a Sailsman!' Or, 'Father Dearest!' Or, 'Bad to the Last Drop!' Without giving too much away, this is the story of a poor Jewish boy who fled a tiny village in Eastern Europe to escape the Holocaust, became a war hero, changed his name, and built a vast fortune. It's the kind of rags-to-riches story that would be inspiring... if it weren't also littered with deception, fraud, manipulation, and betrayal. The shockwaves from this man's Machiavellian life, mysterious death, and monstrous family connections are still being felt around the world today! As always, thanks for joining us, and please stay safe out there!
