Welcome to AirNenky's Cabinet of Curiosity's, a production of I Heart Radio and Grimm

and Mild.

Our world is full of the unexplainable.

And if history is an open book, all of these amazing tales are right there on display,

just waiting for us to explore.

Welcome to the Cabinet of Curiosity's.

Not everyone gets recognition for their work.

Even when they deserve it, the teacher who helps a child read or the nurse who notices

something wrong with a patient might never get acknowledged for their contributions.

One man, however, did go on to great acclaim, but not for helping people, even though that

was precisely why he should have been famous in the first place.

Marcel Mangal was born in Strasbourg, France in 1923.

His father, a kosher butcher, had emigrated from Poland while his mother had come from

Mangal spent a lot of time with his parents and especially enjoyed going to the movies with

his mother.
