Congratulations to Alice Shalvi, whose many accomplishments were detailed in a feature story in the Haaretz weekend magazine on July 8, 2011. The article, by Aviva Lori, is entitled "A soldier for sexual equality." It begins: "As long as the army has such a central influence over life in this country and Orthodoxy is dominant, asserts Prof. Alice Shalvi, there won't be equality between the sexes. Despite this, at 85, the Israel Prize laureate is still energetically working toward achieving that lofty objective."

Congratulations to Rosemarie Reed, who has completed her documentary film of Ravensbrück and Sachsenhausen, Where Birds Don't Sing. For more information, see http://www.filmsforthought.com/.
