Welcome to the travel/literary podcast The Wandering Book Collector with host Michelle Jana Chan. This is a series of conversations with writers exploring what's informed their books and their lives around themes of movement, memory, sense of place, borders, identity, belonging and home.
In this edition, I speak with the writer Ariana Neumann to discuss her book, When Time Stopped: A memoir of my father’s war and what remains. It documents Ariana’s journey to discovering her family’s Jewish roots and their efforts to survive World War II in their homeland of Czechoslovakia, yet as so many were transported and murdered by the Nazis.
