[Michlib-l] Irene Miller, Holocaust survivor and author

[McFadden-Keesling, Allison C]

Hello!

Author and Holocaust survivor, Irene Miller has spoken at Oakland Community College (OCC) both in person and via Zoom. She is an inspiring and engaging speaker. Irene is speaking again at OCC via Zoom on Wednesday March 23, 2022 from noon - 1pm.  Free and open the public, if interested, please register here:  https://www.eventbrite.com/e/holocaust-survivor-irene-miller-tickets-256080221837


Irene carefully walks listeners through her family's journey during the Holocaust. They attempt to escape Poland but end up in the frozen landscape called "No Man's Land." We travel with her (and her parents and sister) as the young Irene survives a Siberian labor camp, faces starvation in Uzbekistan, and ultimately lives in orphanages. It's a powerful and compelling story of struggle and loss but ultimately survival and courage. Despite all her hardships, Irene has a positive and loving spirit that will not be dampened. I believe all in attendance at Irene Miller's speeches are better for having heard her story.

Irene's memoir, "Into No Man's Land," is as moving and poignant as her speeches. To learn more:
