The Alpena County George N. Fletcher Public Library hosted Holocaust survivor, author, and educator Irene Miller last night. We had a huge turnout to hear her speak about her experiences as a child during the Holocaust- fleeing Poland to Russia, being sent to a Siberian work camp, and an orphanage in Uzbekistan. She was an engaging and inspiring speaker. You can learn more about her at her website:

She is based out of Bloomfield Hills, so the Library provided overnight accommodations and reimbursed her mileage from her engagement the day before, in addition to an honorarium. Her speaking fees are flexible.
I cannot recommend her enough to have at your library, school, or other community organization.
