Barbara,
I have two stories related to the the Holocaust. I would love your help on developing one or both. Do you think the children’s Holocaust literature would be a help? Or should we work some other way?
Thanks,
Barbara Feller
I’ll respond privately. But it’s always a good idea to read books like the one you want to write.
