Ann S. Epstein's  "Orphan Camp" will be published by Summerset Review online on December 15, 2018. “Orphan Camp” examines how the resilience that allowed Jewish children to survive during WWII made them resistant to adoption afterwards. Although set seventy years ago, the story speaks to today’s many war orphans.

Also, her novel, A Brain. A Heart. The Nerve. has been published. The novel is a fictional biography of Meinhardt Raabe, the little person who played the Munchkin Coroner in the 1939 Hollywood classic movie The Wizard of Oz. Meinhardt wants the respect given normal people, yet his disability makes him mistrust even those who can see past it.

See Ann S. Epstein’s latest wide-ranging “Learn History Through Fiction” posts about the eras and places in On the Shore and Tazia and Gemma. Read about the “Uprising of the 20,000,” the first women’s garment workers strike; when a law mandating a 10-hour work day was considered progress; the effect of  “doll test” studies on the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education school desegregation decision; how Mafia casinos and speakeasies took over Las Vegas 100 years ago; the large number of “hyphenated Americans” who fought in WWI; and other lesser known historical facts at Facebook and Twitter and read more fascinating details on her website BLOG and BEHIND THE STORY feature.
