Join host Luke Morgante for an engaging conversation with Viennese historian and author, Lilly Maier. In the episode, Lilly and Luke discuss the incredible life story of Arthur Kern, a Jewish survivor of the Holocaust who, after being forced to separate from his family, escaped to the United States as a child.
Arthur and Lilly's stories became interconnected in 2003 when he returned to his childhood home in Vienna for the first time since fleeing — a turn-of-the-century apartment where young Lilly was now living with her mother. This fateful meeting would compel Lilly to pursue a life as a historian, uncovering the stories of Arthur's escape and thousands of others impacted during the period.
