Sarah Kreimer is a veteran peace activist. Since her move to Israel in the early 80s, she has initiated countless socio-economic and urban planning projects aimed at developing Jewish–Arab cooperation and equal rights.

A co-founder of the left-wing organization Ir Amim, where she later served as associate director, Kreimer has recently finished writing a memoir of her years as an activist, entitled Vision and Division in Israel: My Journey Along the Seam. The book captures her life from many angles, both as a woman dealing with personal, day-to-day struggles – including a battle against breast cancer and the loss of her husband – and as a Jewish Israeli fighting for reconciliation and peace in the Middle East.
