3 The Highland Park-Edison Community is Cordially Invited to a Special Program Featuring Miriam Dobin Author of I Am Because of You A TRIUMPHANT STORY OF A FEW WHO SURVIVED THE HOLOCAUST AND WENT ON TO BUILD FUTURE GENERATIONS Sunday, July 19th 10:00 AM Congregation Ohav Emeth 415 Raritan Avenue Highland Park, NJ After her talk, Miriam s memoir, I Am Because of You, will be available for purchase and signing. This event is free to the public. Light refreshments will be served. A personal message from the author: My name is Miriam Dobin. I would like to share with you some news of a personal project which I recently completed. I have written a book entitled, I Am Because of You. It is about my parents, aunt and uncle who survived the Holocaust. They lost most of their loved ones, yet managed to rebuild their lives here in America. I am an only child, one my parents thought they could never have. Olga, my mother, was ten weeks shy of fortyeight years old when I was born and my father, Morris, was fifty-six. Being a child of Holocaust survivors and elderly parents brought many trials and tribulations which presented challenges throughout my upbringing, as well as many joyous occasions. In the summer of 2014, my husband and I traveled with a local shul group to visit the Auschwitz concentration camp where my mother, aunt and uncle were imprisoned. After the tour, my husband and I continued on to Slovakia and Western Ukraine, where my parents were from. Our trip, which is detailed in the book led to new discoveries about my family's past and uncovered hidden information that I never imagined I would find. I hope you will join me on this journey. - Thank you, Miriam
