Par Eric Braeden. 2017
For nearly four decades, fans have welcomed the star of television's number-one daytime show, The Young and the Restless, into…
their living rooms. While they've come to know and love the suave Victor Newman, few truly know the man behind the character, Eric Braeden. His story is a startling and uplifting true tale of war, deprivation, determination, fame, and social commitment that spans from Nazi Germany to modern Hollywood. Braeden's journey from a hospital basement in Kiel to the soundstages of Los Angeles has taught him more about joy, heartbreak, fear, dignity, loss, love, loneliness, exhilaration, courage, persecution, and profound responsibility to the global community than he could have hoped to learn in several lifetimes. Growing up in the years after Germany's defeat, Braeden knew very little about the atrocities of his parents' generation, until he arrived in America as a teenager--a discovery that horrified and transformed him. Trying to redress the wrongs of his homeland, he has dedicated his life to humanitarian work, working for decades to show the world that what we share as humans is far more important than what separates us from one another.
