We had her at the Brandon Twp Library in March of this year. And I agree! She was fantastic, and we had wall to wall people come to hear her touching story! Robin Loughlin On Thu, Sep 19, 2019 at 11:13 AM Jessica Luther via Michlib-l < michlib-l@mcls.org> wrote:

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: http://www.irenemillerspeaker.com/home

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.
