Hello, for various professional reasons I'm using a pseudonym. My relevant interests are history (especially 20th century Middle-Eastern and European including Holocaust), and to a lesser extent political, religious and cultural issues. I do not have a personal connection, either by family, descent, or religion, with the people and places I write about in Wikipedia.
