Listen to an interview with Vic Fischer at 5:30 Friday, February 21, 2014 on 89.5 FM and our FM stream.
Vic was in Palmer on Thursday. February 20 – talking at the Palmer Rotary at noon at the Eagle Hotel and then signing books at Fireside at 1:30 pm. His memoir, To Russia with Love, is an incredible read:
“Son of the famous American journalist Louis Fischer, who corresponded from Germany and then Moscow, and the Russian writer Markoosha Fischer, Victor Fischer grew up in the shadow of Hitler and Stalin, watching his friends’ parents disappear after political arrests. Eleanor Roosevelt personally engineered the Fischer family’s escape from Russia, and soon after Victor was serving in the United States Army in World War II, while his childhood friends fought in the Soviet and German armies.”
