CURRENT WORK
Book Projects
Saints and Liars is about Americans — Quakers, Unitarians, secular people, Jews — who
traveled to Europe to aid and, step by step, engaged in rescuing people targeted by Nazi
Germany and its allies. Who were these intrepid souls who, unlike so many of their fellow
citizens, perceived possibilities for productive action where others saw none? Their history
illuminates the factors that prompt engagement, and lays bare how rescue activities unfolded on
the ground.
Women figured prominently in these initiatives. Philanthropy and service have long been
women’s work. But this philanthropy and this service offered unimagined avenues for
independent action. And the women loved it. They were committed to their missions. And, at the
same time, they relished the derring-do, the independence, the freedom from social norms. The
operatives accomplished a lot: they brought large sums of money into enemy territory, organized
escape routes, sprang prisoners from incarceration. Exploring the experience of the Americans
who undertook these initiatives and the imperiled people they helped, Saints and Liars presents
the Holocaust as a transnational, transcontinental history that involved all manner of people from
many points on the globe.
Dear Tante Elisabeth: An Extraordinary, Ordinary Christian during the Holocaust draws upon
a cache of over a thousand letters written by Jewish parents to their children and from the
children to their parents. Sent through Elisabeth Luz, a middle-aged, middle-class Christian
woman in Stäfa, Switzerland, these letters tell much about daily life, and elucidate the
complexities of communication, denial, and silence during and after the Nazi years. Dear Tante

Elisabeth explores the history of this extraordinary woman’s efforts to help Jews during the
war, and the lives of those with whom she had contact.
