- About Me:
- For many years I taught students and teachers about the Holocaust, working with the University of Denver and Regis University. I studied at Yad Vashem, became a member of Karen Shawn's Consortium, was a interviewer for The Shoah Foundation and developed a curriculum, reader's theatre and a full play using actual letters written among my family as they tried to escape the Nazis in Germany. Since 1995, I focus most of my efforts on this work, No Way Out. For fun, I direct and produce community theatre and dabble in the arts and politics.

I had to write and tell you how touched I was after reading your piece, "No Way Out." I am sorry that happened to your family and grateful that you have shared this piece of your history.
It is such a pleasure to "meet" you. Thanks so much for your wonderful and important contributions to the anthology and teacher's guide. A few weeks ago I had the great privilege to see "Address Unknown" performed on stage here in Israel. I am very curious and eager to see your play as well. Was it ever performed in Hebrew?

Welcome! I am thrilled that you are joining us in this community, and I hope you find it useful. We all missed you at the Consortium, but everyone is thrilled to have both your story and your teacher's guide in our books, and we have gotten much positive feedback on both. I can't wait to exchange ideas in our forums! Keren, our co-editor and builder of this community, will be delighted to meet you as well, since she has not had the pleasure of your company in person.
So glad you are here!
