A kid in New York City loves basketball and watches the New York Knicks from the nosebleeds. Years later, that same kid is center-court playing in the NBA. Ernie Grunfeld went on to be General Manager of the Knicks in the 1990s. Most Knicks fans know the Grunfeld name, but what many do not know is that Ernie Grunfeld arrived in New York at age 9 with his parents from Hungary, not knowing a word of English and having lost most of his family during the Holocaust.
Hear Ernie's son, Dan Grunfeld, speak about the "unprecedented American Dream" realized by his father and his grandparents, and his experience as a third-generation Holocaust survivor carrying on the legacy of his family story.
By the Grace of the Game hit shelves on November 30th.
