Manage episode 424031135 series 2659506
Douglas Wellman is a former Hollywood television producer-director, and assistant dean of the School of Cinematic Arts at the University of Southern California. For over forty years he has been a historian and researcher of the 20th Century. Doug is back to discuss his book "A Teenage Girl in Auschwitz: Basha Freilich and the Will to Live" about a fourteen-year-old Basha Anush and her family who were dragged from their home in Pruzhany, Poland by Nazi troops and shipped off to the infamous Auschwitz concentration camp. Within days, five members of her family would be dead and she would be subjected to two-and-a-half years of abuse, a death march into Germany, and months of roaming with other homeless girls when the Third Reich collapsed.
