FULL SHOW | Nights With John Stanley - 30 January 2026

What if the monster from your past moved in next door?

In 1950s Australia, a wave of Holocaust survivors arrived seeking peace, but they weren't alone. In this haunting and deeply relevant conversation, filmmaker and author Danny Ben-moshe exposes a dark chapter of Australian history: the estimated 5,000 Nazi war criminals who slipped through immigration and built new lives in our suburbs.



This is a raw, unapologetic look at the "oldest hatred," the failure of government empathy, and the terrifying question many Australian Jews are asking today: When is the time to go?

Listen to John Stanley live on air from 8pm Monday to Thursday and 7pm on Friday on 2GB Sydney and 4BC Brisbane
