During and after the Holocaust, @jdforward helped European Jews find relatives by running ads on their behalf.
I found 1000s of letters from ghetto residents, prisoners, war refugees, liberating soldiers, and survivors.
I set out to tell their stories.

“The US was the goldene medine […] but it was closed,” 86-year-old writer Alicia Freilich told me. “Venezuela became our goldene medine.”
From exile, Alicia writes about Venezuela and reflects on her family’s incredible and tragic story. For @jdforward https://t.co/VxQtsrkFCV
@CUJewsIsraelis@jdforward@UAW I'm the journalist of this Forward article from yesterday. Ynet took my reporting, including quotes from an unnamed source, and published their own version of the story in Hebrew without attribution or any nuance. Thanks for sharing my article.
“It started out about wages and conditions, but it’s turned into Israel/Palestine.”
I talked to Breads Bakery workers about their union drive, and discovered a Columbia protest conection. (For @jdforward)

Yesterday, I had the honor to share the stage (bimah) with concentration camp liberators at the @baltjc Yom HaShoah event. I presented about the @jdforward “Seeking Relatives” column.
@mjchiusano Santos is despised and laughed out, but, as you so eloquently point out, he is a mirror of our society. He succeeded by projecting what people wanted to see.
Behind New York City's e-bike and moped boom is a little-known ex-delivery worker who has quietly built a micromobility empire. I spent a year looking into him and the freewheeling industry through which he rose. My last story for @StreetsblogNYC https://t.co/2Rny49DxMZ
Trader Joe’s says its babkas come from a small kosher bakery in Brooklyn that grew out of a grandmother’s kitchen.
So I wondered: which bakery? The answer is surprising. I did a deep dive for @jdforward 🧵1/5

@DovDukhovny@hannahofhameln@shabboshouse@jdforward Mass produced super market babka has its plusses and minuses. It’s cheaper, convenient, produces less food waste, and makes a kosher product available virtually everywhere.
@Jewish_Bookery I asked in a couple well known Frum Brooklyn bakeries, and they said they feel the crunch of cheaper Super Market kosher baked goods. Some bakeries also quietly sell mass produced breads and cakes.
@gershon_JP Nice! Schick’s wasn’t just known for tasty Pesach treats, but they were very well trusted in the community. That’s why their brand name was initially sought after.
