Jori Epstein is a sports reporter for USA TODAY. She crafts feature, investigative, news and analysis coverage focusing on the Dallas Cowboys and National Football League. Prior to joining USA TODAY in 2018, she worked for The Dallas Morning News, Sports Illustrated and the Philadelphia Daily News. She graduated Phi Beta Kappa from the University of Texas in 2016 with degrees in journalism and Plan II Honors. Her thesis—“Uncovering the Street Newspaper Movement: Faces and Strategies of a Hidden Journalism”—received recognition as one of 15 model theses among more than 150 honors graduates. Jori met Holocaust survivor Max Glauben in 2012, when they traveled together on the March of the Living, a worldwide Holocaust education and remembrance program. Jori remembers sitting on the wooden-planked floors of a barrack in Majdanek death camp. This was the very camp to which the Nazis had deported Max, and in which they killed his mother and brother. While there, Max shared a key story of labor camp ingenuity that likely saved his life. He told students that he had never shared that memory in 69 years. It was then that 17-year-old Jori’s responsibility as a witness clicked. Weeks after college graduation, Jori reconnected with Max. Max said he wanted his story written. “I’ll write your story, Max,” she said. And she did.
