WKNO To Air “Greenhorn”
Posted By Leonard Gill on Tue, Apr 14, 2015 at 10:11 AM
Those who have read Anna Olswanger’s Greenhorn know that the author — a native Memphian and literary agent in the New York area — based the book on a true tale of two boys: one a stutterer bullied by his classmates at a New York City yeshiva just after World War II; the other a Polish survivor of the war who keeps a mysterious box by his side.
Memphians who didn’t make it to the local Greenhorn screening have a chance this week to catch it not once but three times when it airs on WKNO. The showings are on Thursday, April 16th, at 9:30 p.m. and on Friday, April 17th, at 2:30 a.m. WKNO2 will also air the film on Friday at 10:30 p.m. And the timing here is no accident. Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day) begins at sunset on Wednesday.
