 American Weekly
In 1993, however, decades after leaving the lab, Sklarew roused her dormant scientific interests to tackle a mystery with both personal and historical significance.
Encountering firsthand the massacre’s burial pits, that same sensitivity that led her to write stories for a depressed teacher and that eagerness to, as her father put it, “take a look,” drove Sklarew to reach out to surviving villagers who’d lived with memories of the tragedy for 50 years.
As she makes these discoveries, Sklarew is also finding a new use for the science studies she’d seemingly abandoned nearly three decades ago, completing an intellectual journey that suggests you can come full circle and still cover new ground.
