  • Morning Show - 05/05/19 "Salvaged Pages"

    05/05/2019 Duración: 01h19min

    I am often asked what interview is my favorite among the thousands that I have done over the past twenty years as host of "The Morning Show."  This is it.  Alexandra Zapruder's book "Salvaged Pages: Young Writers' Diaries of the Holocaust" is a collection of diaries written by young people during the Holocaust.  These would be diaries somewhat similar to the famous diary of Anne Frank.  Ms. Zapruder's book was initially published in 2002.  It was re-released in a second edition several years ago- and there is also a multi-media edition available. I am sharing this interview because of Holocaust Remembrance Day, which was this past Thursday.  We Must Never Forget.
