The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum

July 25, 20172 Comments

When I arrived at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum on July 19, 2017 I took a minute to wander. I said ‘hello’ to the Holocaust survivor who was sitting at a desk greeting visitors and I noted the sign on the information kiosk which advertised a book signing that afternoon. Then I headed up … Continue reading The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum

Five Years in Two Minutes

May 24, 2017May 24, 20171 Comment

Four years spent researching and writing Tutti's Promise One year spent editing and preparing the book for publication Two minutes to pitch it to the Jewish Book Council Yesterday afternoon I left my house and took a plane to Westchester, NY. It was one of Cape Air’s cozy Cessna 402s with room for nine passengers … Continue reading Five Years in Two Minutes

Actions Speak Louder

May 21, 2017May 21, 2017Leave a comment

I went to two Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day) events in April and I noticed that different communities handle this important day in different ways. Each has a different tone and audience but essentially accomplishes the same thing. I watched University of New Haven students do a short performance of Pavel Friedmann’s poem Butterfly. I … Continue reading Actions Speak Louder

The other night I was getting ready to make dinner. I was in that lost state of looking in the fridge hoping that something was in there that would magically transform into a meal for my family when the phone rang. Hello? Dead air. I thought it was one of those obnoxious call-room scammers telling … Continue reading A Curious Call

Why I’m Writing about the Holocaust

October 16, 2013October 16, 20134 Comments

Please watch this short video. It is short and speaks for itself. We are raising a generation of students who don't know about the Holocaust. If they don't know, it is because nobody taught them. If they don't know, G-d help us all in the future. We all need to know what has happened to … Continue reading Why I’m Writing about the Holocaust

Washington DC Research Not For Naught

April 21, 2013October 9, 20166 Comments

Coming home from DC on Thursday, I was doing quite a bit of rationalizing. My rationalizations consisted of ideas such as: 1 - Now I know where not to look. 2 - The answers must not be there, and now I know that. 3 - I didn't find what I was looking for, but I … Continue reading Washington DC Research Not For Naught
