Having completed a doctorate in History, I decided nevertheless to work in a family-related investment business , something I have enjoyed very much doing.   On a voluntary basis, I serve as the vice president of an international Non Governmental Organization called the International Raoul Wallenberg Foundation(IRWF). I also  lecture and write on political and historical topics .
