00:00:01.335 --> 00:00:04.495
Probably the first project I worked on was copy editing

2
00:00:04.635 --> 00:00:08.055
the women's anthology Before All Memory Is Lost.

3
00:00:09.695 --> 00:00:11.175
I often tell the story about how

4
00:00:11.175 --> 00:00:13.255
that was a tough first project.

5
00:00:14.775 --> 00:00:18.095
I was a new father with raw emotions

6
00:00:18.095 --> 00:00:19.255
with a small baby at home

7
00:00:19.795 --> 00:00:23.055
and was reading stories about mothers and babies

8
00:00:23.715 --> 00:00:28.335
and violence and, uh, it, it was, I

9
00:00:29.255 --> 00:00:31.415
I was, uh, it was raw

10
00:00:31.635 --> 00:00:33.495
and I was, yeah, I, I,

11
00:00:33.575 --> 00:00:35.015
I found some of that hard to deal with.

12
00:00:35.015 --> 00:00:36.015
It was a hard first project.

13
00:00:36.255 --> 00:00:39.055
'Cause other projects I've worked on have been

14
00:00:39.925 --> 00:00:41.295
less explicitly violent.

15
00:00:41.565 --> 00:00:45.535
There's always suffering and persecution in our stories, uh,

16
00:00:45.715 --> 00:00:49.455
but sometimes it's more context than actual content.

17
00:00:49.875 --> 00:00:51.775
The women's anthology are short stories.

18
00:00:51.775 --> 00:00:55.215
They're not, so the stories don't include as much about

19
00:00:55.485 --> 00:00:57.975
what happened before the Holocaust, what happens after.

20
00:00:58.085 --> 00:01:01.455
It's all, it's, they're all, you know, the Holocaust story.

21
00:01:01.835 --> 00:01:05.375
And, uh, it was, it was a tough first one.
