Writing has been a passion for me since my teens. I have published eighty essays on political and environmental topics in major newspapers, as well as non-fiction stories in anthologies and articles in professional journals. "Becoming American" is my first full-length book. It grew out of a trip I took with my daughter in search of our family roots in Eastern Europe, and particularly a hidden cemetery in which my paternal great-grandparents were buried. That adventure got me thinking about my experiences growing up in post-war Europe as the child of Holocaust survivors, my family's immigration to the Unites States, military service, a career as a lawyer and college professor, and involvement in many of the most significant political developments of our time.
I also have been motivated to tell my story by the current controversies over immigration and what it means to be an American. By sharing my experiences, I hope to show readers how immigrants become real Americans, fully engaged with our culture.
I am working on a second book, a sometimes humorous, sometimes serious collection of experiences traveling all over the world with a partner who is disabled and relies on a mobility scooter. In the meantime, I continue writing essays and short non-fiction pieces.
