    Exploring Jewish Berlin – dark history and revival

    ByEileen Ogintz December 16, 2015July 6, 2021

    You can’t visit Berlin without considering the horror of the Holocaust–the six million European Jews (600,000 of them German-born) who perished.

    ByEileen Ogintz December 14, 2015July 6, 2021

    Westin Gets it Right for Families in Berlin

    ByEileen Ogintz December 13, 2015July 14, 2021

    Westin and Le Meridien Hotels have just introduced new family programs, they say, in response to a changing global demand for family travel.

    A Journalist and a Fan finds the LA Clippers are a Nation

    ByEileen Ogintz December 9, 2015July 8, 2021

    What was a room I have only seen on television was a standard NBA Press Conference room. It was open seating, so I sat in a comfortable second row to await for LA Clippers Head Coach Doc Rivers. Journalists were not shy asking about the tough questions.
