Published author, “WOMEN OF VALOR: Polish Resisters to the Third Reich.” Based on my research and 1st hand interviews with now elderly women who actively, and successfully defied the Nazis, my work provides a new narrative about women’s roles during what became known as the Holocaust. These stories dispelling stereotypes about women “going silently like sheep to the slaughter.” My public-speaking presentation topics are: “Women and the Holocaust”; “The Commemoration of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising,” “The Recovered Mezuzahs of Poland,” and “Resistance & Remembrance.” My current book-in-progress: “WOMEN OF VALOR: German, French, and Dutch Resisters to the Third Reich.” Available to make presentations in Europe during August 2018.
