Virtual Author Interview With Irene Butter

Join CapRadio and host Donna Apidone for a virtual author interview with humanitarian and Holocaust survivor Irene Butter about her memoir, Shores Beyond Shores.

Irene's memoir is a poignant message against hate and a reminder of the positive impact one person can make when they decide to be more than a bystander. At 13 years old, Irene found her voice silenced when the Dutch policed knocked on her door and forced her family onto trains headed for Nazi-controlled camps and eventually Bergen-Belsen. There she would befriend fellow prisoner Anne Frank. Irene's family, by a miracle, would escape, but at a steep cost. Her memoir is the story of a young girl and her family who survived the Holocaust and how they would come to terms with the horrific events they endured through empathy and love.
