THERE ARE ALWAYS SURVIVORS

“There are always survivors.” That is what historian/author Peter Wyden said when his wife (Miller’s grandmother, Elaine Mazlish) told him that there were no survivors of the Holocaust from her family’s village in Eastern Europe. He was right. There Are Always Survivors follows two branches of the fictionalized Mazlish family–those who left Mizoch and those who stayed–over the course of 50 years, and examines their imagined moment of reconnection in 1997 in Israel.

THE BROOKLYN PROJECT

A piece about where we choose to make our homes and chase our dreams. Utilizing historical documents, interviews, personal anecdotes, narrative storytelling, and movement, a palimpsestic look at generations of women in the Flatbush area of Brooklyn.

IMMERWAHR

Inspired by the true story of Clara Immerwahr, the first woman to get her PhD in chemistry in Germany and the first wife of controversial chemist Fritz Haber, IMMERWAHR places Clara in conversation with her near contemporary Marie Curie and together the women navigate difficult questions of genius, circumstance, will, societal pressures, and even luck.

YOU WILL NEVER READ THIS

What makes a person worth remembering? You will not read the name Clara Immerwahr in a history book–except as a footnote to her husband, Nobel Prize winning chemist Fritz Haber. But Clara was a pioneering scientist in her own right. YOU WILL NEVER READ THIS traces her uneasy journey from the lab to the home; and from partnership with her husband to opposition to his work as the father of chemical warfare.
