Experiences of our guests with historical city tours of Regensburg.

I met you this morning on the tour you led in Regensburg . I spoke to you after the tour , but I just want to thank you again. As I had mentioned to you, some of my family members perished in the Holocaust. I really had mixed feelings about visiting Germany, but you really made my visit worthwhile. You are a very special person to make it your mission to remember those who perished in such a meaningful way. It was really an honor to meet you. If there is anything I can do to help you on your mission all the way from Philadelphia please let me know.

Warm Regards

We were on your tour Friday with the group from the Viking Gullveig. As we were flying home we discussed our vacation and we both agreed that your tour was not only the best on this vacation, but it was one of the best (and most informative) of many we had enjoyed around the world.

Auch von meiner Seite und unseren Gemeindemitgliedern bzw. Gästen aus Güstrow noch einmal: Das war eine tolle Führung! Sie war sehr spannend und informativ, abwechslungsreich und interessant gestaltet! Mir hat besonders gefallen, wie sensibel Sie über jüdische Themen sprechen, das ist leider nicht selbstverständlich!
Mir ist es ein besonderes Anliegen, dem wachsenden Rassismus und Antisemitismus in unserer Gesellschaft mit Aufklärung/Information zu begegnen.

Herzliche Grüße

A couple of weeks ago, you gave us such an informative and moving tour of Regensburg, and the tragic history of the Jewish people there. Your deep commitment in telling this story was evident throughout your tour. We look forward to reading your book when it is published in English.

We wanted to send along our thanks. With gratitude, and every good wish
