ABOUT THE AUTHOR

MICHAEL NEWMAN


Picture
Michael and Sandy
Michael Newman has always had an interest in the Second World War. The son of Holocaust survivors, he has received first-hand accounts of what happened during WWII in the concentration camps, particularly Mauthausen, where his father was imprisoned. Newman had the opportunity to travel, surreptitiously, to Israel during the Second Lebanon War, an experience that was written about in the National Post and the Toronto Star.

​Michael lives on Toronto’s waterfront with his wife, Dixie, and their cocker spaniel, Sandy. They have five kids and eleven grandchildren.

Michael Newman captured media attention in 2006 when he travelled secretly to the Israel-Lebanon border, putting himself in the path of Hezbollah-fired rockets while his family in Canada – who learned of his trip only after he had gone – worried about him. This secret trip was headlined in two major newspapers in Canada: the Toronto Star and National Post. The latter subsequently asked Michael to blog about the Israel-Hezbollah conflict.
