Long Distance Call

Geraldine is home from her fabulous holiday to a busy work schedule and a dose of the flu. This week she talks to Eliza from the ABC studios, where she's just interviewed a German historian about how people dealt with the humiliation of losing the Second World War. Eliza is entertaining her family in Beirut. One of the stops on the trip is the Shatila Palestinian refugee camp. It was the scene of a horrific massacre in 1982 and is now home to thousands of Syrians fleeing war. The women also discuss books: "East West Street"; "Boy Swallows Universe" and "Happiness".
