Ann S. Epstein's short story “Orphan Camp” was published in The Summerset Review, Winter 2019. Here’s the log line: “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.
She also held a well-attended book reading of Tazia and Gemma at the Ann Arbor Jewish Community Center and showed a short documentary film about the Triangle Waist Company fire, which opens the book.
