Being the local Doctor and the Doctor's wife was a saving grace for         Hanni's family. Shortly after the German Army entered Vienna in 1938, the family started the paperwork in trying to immigrate to Massachusetts.

It took quite a long time for them to secure all the paperwork and a job in Boston for her father, but shortly there after they were on their journey to America.

The children's book "My Two Cities" by Robin Mayers Stein with Hanni Myers has been written in verse so children  and teens can learn of the experience of this one family. What was Hanni's childhood like as an immigrant who didn't speak English when she arrived in  America . They overcame many obstacles but never gave up hope for themselves and many others

No matter how challenging, Hanni's mother and father were able to help 17 families immigrate to the United States to freedom. Some were friends or relatives, others were not. But the family never stopped trying to help others left behind in Europe.

"Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers and the roles they play in our lives. And my guests answer the question, 'are you who you are today because of, or in spite of, your mother'? You'll be amazed at what the responses are.

"Should Have Listened To My Mother" would not be possible without the generosity, sincerity and insight from my guests. In getting ready to launch my podcast, so many were willing to give their time and share their personal relationships with their mother.

Some of my guests include Baritone Singer Christopheren Nomura, Pulitzer Prize Winning Journalist Tim Wacker, Activist Kim Miller, Freighter Sea Captain Terry Viscount, Film Production Manager Peg Robinson, Professor of Writing Montclair State University Dr. Bridget Brown, Tammy Steckler, attorney and family advocate @CUNY Law; NYC First Responder/NYC Firefighter Mark Heingartner, Child and Adult Special Needs Activist, Maryellen Valyo Cole and Roger Evens, Property Manager in New Jersey and so many more talented and insightful women and men.
