“Wonderful to see my friend in human rights Philippe Sands at the 92nd Street Y last night. His powerful book East West Street explores the life of Raphael Lemkin -- the Polish lawyer who coined the term ‘genocide’ and whose story inspired my play Lemkin’s House.”

As the author of LEMKIN’S HOUSE, a play about the man who gave "genocide" a name -- I have dedicated much of my playwriting and libretti work to exploring these atrocities, and have long voiced my fears of genocide when it comes to the human rights violations in Gaza.
