#blog The exhibition #ThirdGeneration explores how the legacy of the Holocaust is passed on in survivor families, also in the form of tangible objects. Read more about this leather folder that contained all the documents that enabled Anne Hand's family to escape from Austria.

Stories and research are an important place to start, but ultimately much hinges on emotional truth to fill the gaps and bring what remains to life #AustrianAgain goes a step further to say why it matters when choosing to accept reparations almost 100 years on #yomhashoah forward.com/culture/6192...

‘We’re all scarred in different ways’: The next generation of Holocaust testimony

As Holocaust survivors die, their descendants are learning to tell their stories. But that can get complicated and messy, quickly.

With #AustrianAgain being published, and being a real author, I'll have done the Big Life Things I wanted to do, or thought I could do, since I was young.

I turn 40 this year. If (hopefully) I'm halfway through, I guess I'll just need to dream bigger for that second half.

Final cover art for #AustrianAgain AND pre-order (Sept 1) and release (Oct 20) dates set! Crazy. Now, it's all about outreach, starting to set up reviews, interviews, podcasts...crazy. This is all new to me...looking forward to building the road as I go, with a little help from my friends #firstbook

Supposed to get revised cover art back this week for #AustrianAgain! So exciting!!! It will be a variation of this, but with more visual cues to what the book is about. I wanted abstract, but this was a little too much.

Sooooo got some #AustrianAgain cover ideas back from the wonderful (real, not AI) designer. She sent more, but from initial surveys, most people are gravitating towards one of these. Thoughts? Can suggest edits directly as part of feedback to the designer. 📚🇦🇹🥰
