As we prepare our fifth season of Exile, we're looking back at our favorite episodes from seasons 1-4. Each re-release brings back a unique, fascinating, and often heart-wrenching story from the Leo Baeck Institute Archives. A young, Jewish librarian in New York named Florence Mendheim risks her life to spy on the growing Nazi movement in America. She passes herself off as a Nazi sympathizer, documenting the movement's nefarious activities. Everything is on the line—her family, her work and her life—to try to halt hate in its tracks. As Nazism becomes a gathering storm, will she get out of the spy game before she's caught? The Florence Mendheim Collection in the Archives of the Leo Baeck Institute in New York contains: her reports and correspondence with the Stephen Wise Free Synagogue and the American Jewish Congress, American pro-Nazi and white supremacist propaganda she collected during her spy work, her personal letters, and some of Florence's unpublished novels. Go to www.lbi.org/mendheim. Exile is a production of the Leo Baeck Institute, New York | Berlin and Antica Productions. It's narrated by Mandy Patinkin.

About Today's Show Welcome to episode 3 Season 5 of #SenecaProud Podcast! In this episode of the #SenecaProud podcast, we talk TikTok, TV, and chasing your dreams with Seneca College graduate Isabel Kanaan. Isabel shares her story of moving to Canada from the Philippines when she was a teenager, and what it was like to have to finish out her final year in high school in a completely new country. And while she dreamed of going into entertainment in the Philippines, the thought of her realizing that dream in Canada seemed like a more of a fantasy - until she enrolled in the Acting for Camera and Voice Programme at Seneca College. And the rest, as they say, is history. In this episode we also talk about: What it's like as a child of immigrant parents to pursue a career that's not "easy to define." How the multicultural, diverse aspect of the TV show "Abroad," filmed both in English and in Tagalog, has an impact on people beyond the Filipino community. How important it is to pursue the career to you love. About the TV Show, "Abroad" "Abroad" is a weekly comedy sketch show about life as seen through the eyes of Isabel Kanaan, in her experience as a Canadian. Abroad is filmed bi-lingually, in both English and Tagalog. In its second season, Abroad will be starting in May, on on the OMNI television network. Check your television listings for showtimes.

When controversial Berlin artist Lene Schneider-Kainer flees the safe confines of her posh marriage and life to retrace Marco Polo's legendary voyage—with her new lover, a celebrity novelist —the adventure she seeks isn't the one she gets. The scandalous choice turns her into a permanent exile, always seeking. The Art & Objects Collection of the Leo Baeck Institute in New York contains hundreds of stunning watercolors by Lene from her 1920s trip. Her travel diaries of that voyage were translated into English by volunteers Ruth Heiman and Irene Miller. You can view all these materials, along with a scrapbook of clippings documenting Lene's travels, at www.lbi.org/schneider-kainer.
