Since retiring from the Ontario public service, I have published three fiction novels and been a contributor to several journals. I’ve been a member of the Canadian Authors Association. I have also been part of the Writing Community of York Region, the Toronto Chapter of Sisters in Crime, and the Stephen Leacock Association.

Both my parents are Holocaust survivors. During the pandemic lockdown, I decided I to learn about their experiences during WWII. Thus began a journey into my family’s past, eventually revealing their extraordinary survival and painful losses. Their story and my memoir were published in 2024, Out Form the Shadows: Growing Up With Holocaust Survivor Parents.

I am active in the Holocaust second-generation and third-generation survivor community. I’ve attended educational programs, commemorative events, and group discussions. I’m a volunteer at the Toronto Holocaust Museum. I have also spoken online and at in-person events. I talk about the Holocaust, intergenerational trauma, antisemitism, and my family’s history.
