By the Grace of the Game: The Holocaust, a Basketball Legacy, and an Unprecedented American Dream 

Join us on February 6 at 2 pm with Author Dan Grunfeld, a former professional basketball player and a proud graduate of Stanford University as he discusses his book By the Grace of the Game: The Holocaust, a Basketball Legacy, and an Unprecedented American Dream, which details what his family endured during the Holocaust, how basketball transformed his father, Ernie Grunfeld, from an immigrant outcast to an Olympic gold medalist for the United States and an NBA player for the Milwaukee Bucks. The story traverses the spectrum of the human experience to detail how perseverance, love, and legacy can survive through generations, carried on the shoulders of a simple and beautiful game.

Author Dan Grunfeld is a former professional basketball player and a proud graduate of Stanford University. An Academic All-American and All-Conference basketball selection at Stanford, Dan played professionally for eight seasons in top leagues around the world, including in Germany, Spain, and Israel. Prior to launching his career, Dan attended Nicolet High School. His mother, Nancy Kahn Grunfeld, is the daughter of local hero and trailblazing attorney Jerry Kahn, co-founder of Godfrey & Kahn Law Firm, who was instrumental in bringing the Bucks to Milwaukee. 

At the virtual event, Dan will appear in conversation with Craig Karmazin, the founder and chief executive officer of Good Karma Brands, a media and marketing company with expertise in leveraging the power of sports to build brands.
