Here's a story that Richard Carleton would never run (...would he?)
...Bouquets to 60 Minutes for "Olga's Story", aired on May 15, 2005. The Reporter is Liz Hayes, Producers: Hamish Thomson and Julia Timm.
Olga is a Sydney resident who was liberated together with her mother, from Bergen-Belsen concentration camp sixty years ago. She was close to death, weighing just 29kg when British and Australian troops threw open the gates of the camp. Her mother died that same day, after surviving years of horror with Olga.
The article was dignified and captivating, and made all the more relevant to Australian audiences by the testimony of an "embedded" Aussie army artist who speaks movingly of his memories which he also captured on film and canvas.
