Autor

Tobias (Toshek) Schiff (Poland, 1925–Belgium, 1999) was a Belgian Holocaust survivor. Postwar, he channeled his resilience into a career as a diamond broker in Antwerp before venturing into photography with a store in Brussels. In 1989, his journey through the Nazi camps was featured in the documentary Monsieur S. et Madame V. Committed to educating future generations and memorializing those who were lost, Schiff dedicated his later years to speaking in schools and published Return to the Place I Never Left in Flemish in 1997. Dani James is a native New Yorker, born to a Jewish mother and a Jamaican father, who grew up in Belgium before making her way back home. She holds a BA in English from Baruch College and an MFA in creative writing from the Writer's Foundry at St. Joseph's University.
