Alexandra Zapruder began her career as a member of the founding staff of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. In 2002, Zapruder completed her first book, Salvaged Pages: Young Writers’ Diaries of the Holocaust, which won the National Jewish Book Award in the Holocaust category. Today she serves as the Education Director of The Defiant Requiem Foundation. She also sits on the Board of Directors  for the Educators’ Institute for Human Rights (EIHR), a nonprofit that develops partnerships with teachers in post-conflict countries to provide training in best practices on human rights, genocide prevention, and Holocaust education.

Peter Feigl’s diary is one of the selections included in Salvaged Pages. Zapruder will be sharing insights into what we can learn from Holocaust first-person testimony.
