In 2018, Dana traveled to Poland to learn more about her ancestors murdered in the Holocaust. She shot, wrote and produced three short films on her journey for Fox 5. Dana won her second NY Emmy award for one of those films, entitled The Forgotten Camps. She previously reported for News 12 The Bronx/Brooklyn, where she shot, wrote and edited all of her stories.
