Today it's Hannah's Turn

If you read my blog post last week, you know I teach a memoir-writing class for senior citizens in Chicago. A few weeks ago I asked the writers in my class to put something down on paper about the Great Depression. Only two of them — Wanda and Hannah — were old enough to remember living through it. The stories the two of them read aloud in class were so moving that Chicago Public Radio agreed to interview these two for a series on WBEZ-FM.

Wanda’s interview aired last week, and Hannah’s aired today. Here’s a description of Hannah’s interview From the Chicago Public Radio website:

In part two of our look back at the Great Depression through the stories of those who were there, we hear from Hannah Bradman – a Jewish woman who came of age in Germany at this time.

It’s a privilege to know these women. Listen to Hannah’s story online and you’ll see – that is, hear – what I mean.
