Survivor
Rachel Goldman Miller is our guest speaker. In 1942, nine-year-old
Rachel was sent into hiding outside of Paris. Rachel never saw her
family again. In Auschwitz Ms. Miller lost 93 family members. "I tell
my story," she says, "It keeps my family alive."
The

performed are Sonata for Two Violins by Mordecai Seter, "The Butterfly"
from I Never Saw Another Butterfly: A Musical Memorial by Charles Davidson, and "We Know Every Child Here" from Brundibar
