Dear Dona,
Yes, I did go to MCDS! I remember you :-) Thank you for picking up a copy of CHASING PORTRAITS. I hope you are also aware that my documentary film is screening next week in Albany. My Dad and I will be there... https://jfi.org/sfjff-2018/film-guide...

In the case of Chasing Portraits, I spent many years reading, thinking, and scribbling down my thoughts before I was truly ready to write the book. I was compelled by the responsibility of world history and my family's own story to sit down and write Chasing Portraits. I am a writer, a reader, a lover of words on the printed page, so putting the story down on paper seemed like the natural thing for me to do.

I am working on finishing up the Chasing Portraits documentary film. The film is at a "lock," which means the footage is now fixed. We are working on recording the voice over, working with the composer to write the score, and all the other behind the scenes components to help make the movie really shine.

When my grandfather died in 1992, we discovered a collection of vignettes he wrote about his life in Poland before the Second World War and how he survived the Holocaust. Between the information he left me in those pages and my great-grandfather's paintings that survived the war, I knew the story had to be told.
