The language of my creative writing is Yiddish that developed in the small Jewish towns in Poland and produced a modern literature that flourished until the Nazi Holocaust destroyed its creators and readers.  In my writings since the end of World War II, I am trying to tell the gruesome story of the destruction of Jewish communities in Europe under the Nazi occupation and the desperate and often heroic resistance in the ghettos and death-camps.  That was my purpose for traveling extensively in Poland and other European countries, as well as in editing some of the diaries written under the Nazi occupation, and memoirs of survivors.
