In Jan. 1939, my maternal grandparents fled as #refugees from Nazi Germany to Holland. Without visas, they were interned at the border—then released. Their journey is central to my upcoming book. #RefugeeStories #JewishHistory #FamilyHistory #Archives #HolocaustHistory #Archives

Every Dec. my father traveled on business and lit this small, beautiful menorah during #Chanukah while my mother and I lit ours at home. Chanukah reminds us that even when the world feels heavy, we are called to bring light 🕯️#JewishHeritage #FamilyTraditions #Holiday

I thoroughly enjoyed the riveting play @PurposeOnBroadway last Wednesday. Powerful storytelling and brilliant performances. Their six Tony nominations are so well-deserved. Don’t miss it! #PurposeOnBroadway #TonyAwards2025

I enjoyed seeing Roland Foods beautiful new offices on 18th St., including an impressive legacy wall commemorating their 90+ year history, going back to when my parents founded the business. Heather McAuliffe Kitendaugh was my wonderful host. #ImmigrantLegacy #SpecialtyFood

Thank you @DeborahDwork & Marion Kaplan for this engaging discussion focusing on the remarkable American aid workers who helped Jews and dissidents escape the Nazis. Thank you for uncovering their remarkable feats & the role an individual can play even in such dire circumstances.

In today's episode of #Exile with @PatinkinMandy, Jewish community archivist Jacob Jacobson's labor is commandeered when the Nazis take power. Can he protect himself and his family without betraying his community?

On this International #HolocaustRemembranceDay, I remember my cousin Ellien who survived Bergen-Belsen and Ravensbruck and died at age 14 in June 1945, just weeks after liberation. #NeverForget #GermanJewishHistory

#OTD in 1939 my maternal grandparents Georg & Margarete Ballin fled as #refugees from Nazi Germany to Holland. Without Dutch visas, they were immediately interned at the Dutch border, but fortunately released due to family connections #HolocaustHistory #JewishHistory #writerslift

#OTD in September 1941, The First Montessori School in Amsterdam had a short school closure. When classes resumed, all Jewish children had been expelled, including my cousin Ellien #HolocaustHistory #TrueStory #FamilyMemoir #WritersLift #JewishAuthor

Growing up, I was haunted by my aunt Lilo’s memorial to her daughter Ellien. Among photos was this pastel portrait: rosy cheeks, light brown hair & huge blue eyes with a winsome expression. I knew Ellien had died during the Holocaust but I knew nothing more #FamilySecrets #Memoir

After yrs of persecution in Nazi Germany, artist #SamsonSchames fled to the UK, but like all German “enemy aliens” was interned. His remarkable creativity is featured in @LBInyc’s #Exile Ep. 16 hosted by @PatinkinMandy also featuring @SamanthaBaskind @PistolRachel #DegenerateArt
