Welcome!

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

My new book is now out, published in January 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. It is available 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 and popular public speaker. Click here if you want to arrange a talk. My programme of events and talks is constantly expanding so please check my talks & media page. I give illustrated talks and discussions in either English or French to groups of 40 or more people. My fee is negotiable and I am happy to travel in the UK or Europe.
