Thursday on Lake Effect: Escaping Bosnia, Grafton's German-American Bund Camp, OCD App

Thursday on Lake Effect

A one-time refugee from war-torn Bosnia remembers how she and her family escaped, and reflects on her experience as an immigrant in the U.S. Then, an 86-year old Grafton man shares the chilling story of the day the Germans marched into town before World War II. And a local researcher explains why an app might be the way to help OCD patients take the stress out of seeking help.

Guests:

  • Zijada Begonavic, former Bosnian refugee
  • Skip Eernisse, lifelong resident of Grafton; Nick Schanen, Grafton Historical Society
  • Mark Siegrist, Lake Effect contributor
  • Dr. Brad Riemann, clinical director, OCD Center and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy services at Rogers Memorial Hospital
