In my own words...

Welcome to my site where my writing unfolds the extraordinary journey of growing up Jewish in an antisemitic socialist Soviet society. Despite facing adversity and several negative experiences, I persevered, finding strength in resilience.

As I work on getting my memoir published, I'm eager to share the invaluable life lessons I've learned along the way, hoping to inspire hope and courage in every reader. Within the pages of my memoir and my other heartfelt writings, you'll discover a profound understanding of the human spirit's triumph over adversity. Join me on this transformative voyage as we navigate through the darkest of times, seeking a path illuminated by universal truths.
