Ze'ev Rosenkranz told CA: "As a historical editor, my primary motivation for writing is related to work, but I would also like to do some creative writing, including memoirs. My work is influenced by editors at the Einstein Papers Project and by Einstein's former secretary, Helen Dukas. The sources of my inspiration are the life, work, and humanistic values of Albert Einstein."
