Rotkowitz is a member of the Phoenix Holocaust Association, an organization dedicated to preserving the memory of the Shoah. Her understanding of the Holocaust and the impact on survivors and their descendants is addressed in much of her fiction, nonfiction and poetry, which has been published in literary journals and anthologies.
She leads book talks about Holocaust-related books and programs in the Phoenix area where she lives with her husband. At the Sisterhood luncheon, she will introduce her newly published novel, “Escaping the Whale.”
Rotkowitz holds a master of arts degree and a bachelor of arts degree in English, and has taught English on both the college and high school levels.
