Irene Miller, a Holocaust survivor, author, speaker and educator, will take you on a journey of survival journey in which little has been written or is known about. You will sleep in the winter under an open sky on no man\u2019s land; you will freeze in a Siberian labor camp where the bears come to your door front. In Uzbekistan, you will live on boiled grass or broiled onions, and shiver with malaria. You will spend years in orphanages. When this is over you will wonder how a child with this background grows up to become a positive, creative and accomplished woman with a joy of living and love to share. It is a story of courage, determination, perseverance and the power of the human spirit.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0 <strong>Wednesday, April 19, from 1 to 3 p.m.<\/strong> \u2013 Graffiti T-Shirt Event with Artists 4 Israel in Centennial Mall.
