In the Ghetto we barely ate 500 calories a day - Part 1 (of 2) of an interview with Maxwell Smart
Manage episode 330081452 series 2926552
In this episode I am talking to Maxwell Smart who was just nine when the war began. Born in the Ukrainian town of Buczacz - then part of Poland - had his life turned upside down in 1939.
When Maxwell went into hiding, among others, he and a friend helped save a baby. His friend died a few days later and Maxwell carried the guilt for decades over his friend's death.
His amazing story was written into a book that was released on May 2, 2022 by Harper Collins "The Boy in the Woods".
Maxwell is also a very talented artist who paints a lot about freedom and escape as ongoing themes in his explosions of color.
