Roberta Kagan
I write Historical Fiction, most of it is set during the Holocaust. My parents were of Jewish and Romany decent, so I grew up with a dark cloud of their Holocaust memories always hovering over us. I’ve spent years researching and writing about the subject in order to try and make some sense of what happened. I cannot say that I have answers to all of the questions that plague my mind. But what I have learned is to be grateful for every day that I am alive, to appreciate all of the beauty and goodness in the world. I have even learned to forgive , because I know that hatred will never abolish hatred, only love has the power to do that. It is my greatest wish that my work brings you light and hope and helps you to know that even in the darkest hour there is always a flicker of light.
