Joan AdlerJoan Adler's original training was in special education. After staying home to raise her two children, she invented a profession: literary research. Through this effort she was hired by a member of the Lazarus Straus family to research, document and isseminate information about the family. Her work includes extensive writing about the Straus family which she publishes in a semi-annual newsletter. She also writes and publishes books and articles for other publications. Joan found Shlomo Adler when she was working on the genealogy of her husband's family. She was moved by the tragedy of his Holocaust experiences and volunteered to translate his autobiography, A Jew Again, into English. She has once again worked with Shlomo Adler, this time in a more proactive manner, to help publish the inspiring story of Donia, a Jewish girl who posed as a Ukranian and saved the lives of a Jewish couple from the village of Bolechow.
