Research
From Ashes to Triumph (New York, NY 1995).
Worked as research and interviewing assistant for film-maker Menachem Daum (co-producer of the award-winning A Life Apart: Hasidism in America). His film, From Ashes to Triumph, which was viewed at the Agudath Israel convention, consisted of interviews with a number of Holocaust survivors. I attended a good number of these interviews and helped conduct several. In addition, I gathered information from published material.
