Michael Gruenbaum Still Believes Somewhere There is Still A Sun

If you only listen to one Writers’ Voices interview this month, this is the one. Michael Gruenbaum was born in Prague in 1930. At the age of 11 Michael was sent, with his mother and sister, to the Terezin concentration camp. Miraculously, they all survived, although his father, a lawyer, was killed by the Nazis.

In “Somewhere There is Still a Sun,”  Michael, with the help of experienced writer Todd Hasak-Lowy, tells the story of those Holocaust years from a child’s perspective, which is ideal for Young Adult and middle grade readers.

Second, we visit with Dennis Raimondi, host of Speaking Freely on KRUU 100.1 FM in Fairfield Iowa, about his series of interviews with Holocaust Survivors, which is now part of the archives of the National Holocaust Museum.
