#26 Schlepping through the Alps - Interview with Sam Apple Vienna Jewcast

A neurotic American Jew comes to Austria in search of answers to historical, political and personal questions. He spends several months wandering around Austria with Hans Breuer, a "wandering shepherd" (and a Yiddish folksinger), his family and 600 sheep. Sounds like a made up story? It's not! With his book "Schlepping through the Alps: My Search for Austria's Jewish Past with Its Last Wandering Shepherd" Sam Apple offers a real page-turner with lots of humorous, bizarre stories and historical insights.

In the interview, Sam also talked about his new book: "Ravenous: Otto Warburg, the Nazis, and the Search for the Cancer-Diet Connection".

Sam Apple is a writer, journalist and a professor of Science Writing at the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore.
