Mary Dingee Fillmore’s life was changed when she discovered that her Amsterdam apartment was inside the Jewish Quarter where 80% of the people were rounded up and murdered. For 13 years, Mary researched and wrote the award-winning historical novel An Address in Amsterdam about a young Jewish woman who joins the resistance. Ever since Mary has spoken about “Anne Frank’s Neighbors: What Did They Do?” and similar subjects. Her essays and poetry have appeared in Tikkun, About Place, Atlanta Review, Wired, and other venues. She’s still trying to change the world.
