Episode notes
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.
