He enjoys traveling with his wife and often visits the land of his birth. He still speaks good Czech, as do the other survivors, with whom he remains in friendly contact. Paul Wilson is a freelance translator, writer, editor, and radio producer. His translations have appeared in the New Yorker, New York Times, New York Review of Books, and elsewhere. Among his many book translations, We Are Children Just the Same, an anthology of writing from an underground newspaper published by teenaged boys in the Nazi concentration camp at Terezin, won the National Jewish Book Award in 1995.
