Show Notes

In this episode, we sit down for an intimate conversation with Steve Brallier, lead author of Mitka’s Secret: A True Story of Child Slavery and Surviving the Holocaust. Listen in as he traces his unlikely career path from director of information for Anderson University; to concert promoter with the William Morris Agency representing gospel megastars like Bill Gaither and Amy Grant; to storyteller and author. 

Hear him relay the heartbreaking story of Holocaust survivor Mitka Kalinski escaping execution in the German concentration camps, his seven-year enslavement by a German officer, his rescue by American GIs, and his ultimate journey to safety, love, and redemption. Steve also discusses the fear and difficulty of the writing process, and how writing Mitka’s Secret led him to his own personal redemption from hurt and pain.
