MICHAEL GOOD, MD Dr. Michael Good is a family physician from Durham, CT and the son of two Jewish immigrants from Vilna, Poland. He grew up in West Covina, California, outside of Los Angeles and attended Occidental College in Los Angeles where he majored in Political Science. He then earned a medical degree at the University of Rochester’s School of Medicine, completed training in Family Medicine at Middlesex Hospital in Middletown CT and has practiced family medicine for over 25 years. He is a member of the Faculty at the University of CT School of Medicine. Dr. Good became interested in Holocaust history in 1999 when he traveled to Vilnius, Lithuania, with his parents to explore his family origins and hear their tales of survival during the Holocaust. It was during this trip that he heard the story of the enigmatic officer named Major Plagge who his mother claimed had saved her life. After five years of research—interviewing survivors, assembling a team that could work to open German files untouched for fifty years, following every lead he could, Good was able to uncover an amazing tale of one man’s remarkable courage. He is author of the book The Search for Major Plagge: The Nazi Who Saved Jews (2nd edition, 2006). Michael Good has appeared on C-SPAN, as a speaker in Israel, and in Germany and in schools, libraries, churches and synagogues across the United States. Outside of the world of medicine and Holocaust history, he enjoys open water swimming, inline skating, vegetable gardening and geocaching.
