Background on For Services Rendered
The impetus for Erika Dreifus’ short story For Services Rendered about German-Jewish physicians in the 1930s, came from a source very close to home.
Scribbling on Sukkot, My Machberet, & Ruth Brin
Moadim L’Simcha. Today’s missive is being written in my Sukkah, where I am definitely understanding the fragility and impermanence of B’nei Yisrael as they wandered in the desert.
For Services Rendered
A version of this story was published in the U.K.-based Solander: The Magazine of the Historical Novel Society, and republished in J Journal: New Writing on Justice. For Services Rendered was also a finalist in the Moment-Karma Short Fiction Contest.
