Abstract: Irene Wittig will present the true story of her uncle, Otto Gruenbaum, a promising young pianist who fled Vienna, found refuge in the United States, joined the Army, was trained at Camp Ritchie and served as an interrogator and intelligence specialist in France and Germany. A critical part of Otto’s story is his unexplained death and her search for answers as to what happened to him. Her uncle’s story is one of many preserved at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, and the book is now part of their collection as well as that of the Ritchie Museum and the Center of Holocaust Studies at West Point.
