Most of what I do relates, directly or indirectly, to my family’s Holocaust history.
Atop this page is the identification card of my great-uncle Leopold Müller. He was deported from the Bavarian town of Bad Kissingen and murdered in Poland in 1942.

I tell the story of that discovery in this short video from a stortytelling showcase in Durham, North Carolina.
