There are times that constitute milestones to celebrate in the life of a person, like making Aliyah or getting married or having children. Well, all that is already behind me. I now celebrate every morning when I open my eyes and by the grace of G-d see the light of a new day. However, as I have this week reached the age of 85, the programme reflects this with a musical extravaganza of the achievements of Irving Berlin who lived to reach 101.

Walter Bingham was born in, Germany. Just days before the outbreak of WWII, with the help of a Zionist youth movement he was selected for a place on the ‘Kindertransport’ to Great Britain. Walter saw front line action during the Normandy invasion of Europe and was awarded the Military Medal for ‘Bravery in the Field’. In England Walter also acted in films including several Harry Potter films.
On the day of his Aliyah in August 2004 he transferred his programme ‘Walter’s World’ to Israel National Radio as a weekly Magazine programme and it has been running here regularly ever since.
Walter is an accomplished public speaker and was a member of a visiting panel of lecturers at schools throughout the UK, where he spoke on events in the Third Reich. He has also spoken at schools in the USA and addressed audiences in Israel.
