Jan worked as a writer and researcher for 18 years at the National Prison Project of the ACLU in Washington, DC.

The discovery of a WWII diary written by her father led her to write a book, The Box from Braunau, which chronicled his experiences in heavy combat and the liberation of a concentration camp.
