I'm moving on to pursue my professional speaking career, Holocaust education, clinical work, and writing. I am grateful to BAISL for awarding me the Professional Development Award to do research in Hungary for my book, Legacy of Rescue: A Daughter's Tribute. I also appreciate the opportunity afforded me to subsequently present my research to the membership. Next month I will be presenting at Bay School for their morning assembly, relating the story of my father's rescuer to their theme this year examining decision making. As many of you know, my key message is that each one of us can make a difference in everyday life. In December I'll be the featured speaker in a city-wide commemoration in Santiago, Chile, where I'll also be conducting workshops in Spanish and Hungarian, and talking with school kids about the Holocaust and my family's experience, particularly the Righteous Gentile who saved my father and his slave labor battalion of over 100 Jewish men. In January, I will be conducting workshops in London at an international conference for Holocaust survivors and their descendants. After December you may reach me at my website, www.martafuchs.com<http://www.martafuchs.com/>. Wishing you all a great new academic year!
