My Story

I am a writer and memoirist exploring family history, memory, and legacy. My work began with a desire to better understand my Dutch Jewish family’s past and the remarkable stories hidden within it. Along the way, I uncovered forgotten archives, extraordinary acts of resilience, and the story of a Rembrandt that helped save lives during a time of great uncertainty.

These discoveries revealed how the past continues to shape who we are and what we carry forward.
