For anyone in the DMV, tonight we are showing of our Defiant Requiem documentary at St John the Baptist Church in Silver Spring! This will be followed by an interfaith discussion. Many thanks to Father Andrew Wakefield for this beautiful letter he put in the church bulletin these past 2 weeks!

Hi everyone! Due to being asked by several people about genealogy work, especially in relation to dual citizenship, I consolidated my info into a flier here. Feel free to message me on here if you are interested in finding out family history info!

Today was my last day after an amazing weeklong seminar on Christianity in East Central Europe during the Holocaust. The irony that I was literally fenced in at the Holocaust Museum in DC today was not lost on me.

My favorite day of the year in DC: EU Embassy Open House Day! The lines are already starting, and I can’t wait to embassy hop and visit friends and get some great food, drinks, and culture!

Pope Francis’s funeral took me back 25 years, when at age 17 I stood on the steps of the Vatican to sing for the beatification of the Blessed Martyrs of Nowogrodek with Pope JPII presiding. This is what 250k people looks like; it is overwhelming and unlike anything I have ever experienced.

23 years ago, I sat in my dorm room at Muhlenberg College as Adrien Brody got the Oscar for The Pianist. 23 years later, with a career in Holocaust Studies, seeing Adrien get another Oscar for another brilliant story of a Holocaust survivor, it is amazing what a journey it has been.

Recently I had the honor of traveling to Poland at the invitation of the Polish Foreign Ministry and Polish Embassy. The trip was meant to promote Polish-Jewish-American relations and history. I will be presenting about that trip this weekend for those in the NJ area, so please take a look!

Even though my Eagles aren’t in the game tonight, I’m still repping the Birds and my hometown of Philly. I’ll watch the game but you won’t catch me wearing another teams jersey! #PhillyGirlinDC #Superbowl
