GDay World 380 – Yvonne Bornstein, 11 Days Of Hell




Cam & Ray's Cold War Podcast show

Summary: In 1992, Melbourne businesswoman Yvonne Bornstein and her husband Daniel went to Russia on a business trip. They were kidnapped at the airport and tortured for 11 days in captivity while their captors held them for random. They were finally rescued in a joint operation by the FBI and the KGB. Yvonne joined me on G'Day World Live tonight to tell her story - what they went through and how she has dealt with it in the years since. links: <a href="http://www.yvonnebornstein.com/">Yvonne' website</a>. <a href="http://twitter.com/yvonnebornstein">Yvonne is on Twitter! </a> <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/1992/01/18/world/fbi-and-russian-agency-thwart-a-kidnapping.html?scp=1&amp;sq=%20weinstock%20kidnapping&amp;st=cse">NYTimes article from 1992. </a> <a href="http://www.epam.ru/index.php?id=21&amp;id2=357&amp;l=eng">Melbourne Herald Sun article from 1992</a>. <a href="http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/browse/book/isbn/9780765317957/?a_aid=thepodcastnetwork">"Burned", the novelization of her story, just released. </a> <a href="http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/book/9781741107937/Eleven-Days-of-Hell/?a_aid=thepodcastnetwork">"Eleven Days Of Hell", Yvonne's book. </a> Are you a member of the TPN500? <a href="http://tpn.thepodcastnetwork.com/the-tpn-500/"></a>
