My twenty-year nursing career in Chemotherapy, ER, OR, and Psychiatry form the back story of Still the Soul Survives. During my second career as producer and host of the international, award-winning “Boker Tov” radio show from 1996 to 2012, I conducted interviews and consultations with Survivors, Neo-Nazis, politicians, the Simon Wiesenthal Centre, and Yad Vashem.
More than a dozen of my stories are published in anthologies, including the Chicken Soup for the Soul series. With the guidance of my late mentor, author Alistair MacLeod, I founded and chaired the Windsor (Canada) International Writers Conference and its outreach programs from 2013 to 2020.
I am passionate about bringing my survivors’ stories to light. They hold invaluable lessons for present day society today.

Workshops would be based on this quote from my website Discovering Pivotal moments and how they affected you
Everybody has pivotal moments in their lives. My moment happens in 1973, when I meet and bond with Holocaust survivor, Jacob Masinsky. His experiences in Mauthausen compel me to obsessively study antisemitism, the Holocaust, and how they affect the society in which we live. That bond between me, Jacob, and my other Holocaust patients deepens when I convert to Judaism and marry a Jewish man. These friends show me how to overcome the fear of an uncertain, dark future and provide me with the voice needed to stand against hatred, cruelty, and racism. I learn that the power of love and forgiveness can overcome the depths of cruelty.
