Dina Kraft is a veteran foreign correspondent based in Tel Aviv, where she co-hosts the influential podcast "Groundwork," sharing stories about Palestinians and Israelis working to change the status quo.

She began her overseas career in the Jerusalem bureau of the Associated Press and has written and reported for a number of publications, including The New York Times, The Christian Science Monitor, and The Los Angeles Times. She currently works as the opinion editor for the English-language edition of the Israeli newspaper Haaretz.

A 2012 Neiman Fellow at Harvard University, and a 2015 Ochberg Fellow at the Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma at Columbia University, Dina has taught journalism at Harvard University, Boston University and Northeastern University, where she was the director of media innovation at the university's School of Journalism.

Dina's first collaboration, My Friend Anne Frank: The Inspiring and Heartbreaking True Story of Best Friends Torn Apart and Reunited Against All Odds, written with the late Hannah Pick-Goslar, recounts a brief but enduring friendship that somehow flourished during one of the darkest periods in history. "Lies," Anne Frank wrote in her diary, referring to Goslar by her childhood nickname, "you are a reminder of what my fate might have been."

Join us as Dina reflects on the story behind Goslar's best-selling memoir, and on what it means to bring a journalist's eye (and ear!) to the task of shining meaningful new light on one of the most familiar chapters in the literature of the Holocaust.
