“I finished my first novel, The German Girl, about the MS St. Louis that arrived in in Cuba in 1939 with about 900 Jewish refugees…They were rejected by Cuba, the United States, and Canada, sent back to Europe. Most of them were killed in Auschwitz. I decided to meet one of the few survivors, Judith Steel,” Armando Lucas Correa. Judith became an inspiration for The Daughter’s Tale. He talks with Mitchell about the long and winding road from Cuba, Miami, and New York, that lead him to becoming a best-selling novelist and Editor-in-Chief of People en Español. Recorded at Books & Books in Coral Gables, Florida.
