Synopsis

CHASING SHADOWS is an intimate, spiritual, often humorous portrait of holocaust survivor, radio personality, and beloved rabbi Hugo Gryn, and the vanished world of his upbringing. Published posthumously, Gryn describes his idyllic childhood in the once vibrant and tight-knit Jewish community of Carpathia, and the aftermath of Nazi-occupation as his family is forced into the Ghetto and then transported to Auschwitz. A witness and survivor of evil, Hugo Gryn emerges with a determination to do good and CHASING SHADOWS is a testimony of his great spirit - showing why he became one of Britain's best-loved spiritual figures and broadcasters.
