In these troubled times, I feel a responsibility to increase awareness of history’s lessons and the role of the individual in fighting tyranny to create a more humane world.

But I wonder what the boundary police would make of my latest endeavour, sharing deeply personal family stories to the general public and many of my patients. 

Last year I was interviewed by the curator of the Adelaide Holocaust Museum about my mother’s experiences as a child growing up in Nazi Germany. 

The presentation was part of a series, Conversations about the Past: Building a New Tomorrow.
