From Skip and Setter’s Creator: Me and My Interview … in the ‘Times of Israel’

Blog Sketch of Me 092213Well, this is my first post in months, and it has nothing to do with cinema. It does, however, concern a very important thing that happened to me after an interview I conducted 30 years ago (when I was in seventh grade) with two Auschwitz survivors was accepted to the permanent collection of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum: The Times of Israel interviewed me for a feature story, which you can read here.

Feel free to let me know if you have any questions or comments. I think the writer of this story did a wonderful job.
