Claudia’s first solo theatre piece, Ways Of Making You Talk, was nominated for the “New Writing Award” at the Dublin Fringe Festival and was performed with her in the leading role in Dublin and Prague.

Her second solo theatre piece, To Die For, also with Claudia in the leading role, celebrated its English-language world premiere at the English Theatre Berlin in 2012.

In her book We are both Meshugga. Our German–Israeli Love Story”, Claudia recounts an extraordinary encounter: two cultures, two families, two people who could hardly be more different—and who nevertheless found each other.

Shortly after its publication by Eden Books, the book was selected by the Goethe-Institut and the Frankfurt Book Fair for the International Book Fair 2017 in Jerusalem.

Since then, Claudia has been touring Germany and Israel together with her husband Shaul, presenting a vivid reading performance to diverse audiences: students in Haifa, inmates at Berlin–Tegel prison, book lovers in the Allgäu, Orthodox religious Israelis in Jerusalem, culture enthusiasts at the Jewish Culture Days Rhine–Ruhr—and visitors to the Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site.

Claudia and Shaul’s story has attracted wide media attention—on the radio (Deutschlandfunk, SWR, NDR), in newspapers (Süddeutsche Zeitung, Jüdische Allgemeine), and on television (ZDF Morgenmagazin, ZDF Länderspiegel, SWR Nachtcafé).
