Hammelburg co-authored Mijn Jodendom (‘My Judaism’) and wrote Kaddisj voor Daisy (1996)^[5]^[6] and Broken on the inside - The war never ended (Aerial Media 2014), based on 1200 interviews with Holocaust survivors and their children, providing insights into the traumas of the first and post-war generations of Holocaust victims. The interviews were made during a campaign to help American Jews and other individuals file claims for property they lost during the nazi era in what was to become East Germany.^[7]
