Mid-Week Field Notes–December 6, 2023

Posted on December 6, 2023 by Barbara Krasner

Field Notes

Some very quick things:

  1. Book Birthday! Yesterday marked the launch of my new YA novel in verse, Facing the Enemy: How a Nazi Youth Camp in America Tested a Friendship (Calkins Creek). I’ve posted videos that I filmed on the grounds of Camp Nordland, now Hillside Park, in Andover, New Jersey on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.

#1 New Release in Teen & Young Adult Military Historical Fiction

  • I’ve been working on some new essays in experimental formats. Quite satisfying!
  • I had a chance to catch a performance of “Amid Falling Walls” at the NYC Folksbiene at the Museum of Jewish Heritage. So powerful! It’s re-ignited my interest in continuing my Yiddish studies.

Happy Hanukkah and I wish everyone safety and security in these difficult times.
