Portland-based journalist Elizabeth Mehren will join Sankar Raman of The Immigrant Story to discuss her book, I Lived to Tell the World. Mehren's work shares the stories of 13 Oregonians who settled here after surviving atrocities around the globe.
Despite their arduous experiences, the stories convey a powerful message of hope. Cambodian genocide survivor Saron Khut, who was just 5 years old when his mother was sent into forced labor after his father was killed by the murderous forces of Pol Pot, will join in the conversation.
