Beyond my academic work, I love to learn languages (you can communicate with me in English, Dutch, Belarusian, Russian and Ukrainian or try Georgian, Yiddish or Hebrew to have fun of my yet low proficiency in them). Once in a while I collaborate with Amsterdam-based performance duo
Wolf en Paul. You can also regularly find me at
Vegan Taalcafé. Before being forced to leave Belarus, I have volunteered for preserving the memorial in
Kurapaty and done some volunteering for
The European Jewish
Cemeteries Initiative . Therefore, in my spare time I preserve graves.
