Welcome!

I am a writer, tutor and social historian - and I am constantly intrigued by people.

My next book will be published in April 2025. In the Footsteps of the Holocaust: The Story and Letters of a German Jewish Family is the life-story of Henny and Hermann Hartog. Pre-ordering will be available later from the publisher, Pen and Sword Books Ltd.

Using family letters and research in Britain, Germany, Belgium and France, the book follows the story of my husband's grandparents as they lived and worked in Germany before fleeing to Belgium and France – sending their daughters to safety in England.

My biography, A Jew who defeated Nazism: Herbert Sulzbach's Peace, Reconciliation and a New Germany, was published in January 2022. It can be purchased from the publisher (Pen and Sword Books Ltd.), Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.com, or from bookshops.

I am an experienced tutor and public speaker. Please contact me here if you would like to arrange for me to meet with your organisation. I give illustrated talks and discussions in either English or French to large or small groups and I am happy to travel.
