After the war, I became a newspaper reporter in the South where I was involved in the Civil Rights movement,once in Birmingham, and then in Selma, Alabama. Thereafter,I decided I wanted to go to law school. I went to Northwestern University Law School in Chicago because that was the only law school that gave college credit for army service.After law school, I joined law firm that represented the Packinghouse Workers Union of America (UPWA). I began to represent Packinghouse workers, mostly black, as a lawyer who worked for the law firm representing their union. I wrote a biography that took several years of reseach about the union leader, Ralph Helstein, who represented these packinghouse workers. In 2011 the book had published by CLIO-ABC Press. I am now engaged in publishing histories of Yiddish,and of Yiddish in France, based on interviews in French, with French Jews,living in Paris that I translated into English. I am married with two girls and three grandchildren. I live in Paris with my French wife, Nicole.

Will Socialism Win the Next Round in French Elections? I have lived in Paris for several years and have followed the recent French elections in which the Party Socialist candidate, François Holland won. The next round comes June 15 when the French legislature will be elected. If Holland and the Socialists win that election all power will be in their hands. If he losses, his program will be stifled by the right-wing.
