HOW YOU CAN HELP
MiliM is non-profit making and run entirely by volunteers, we are proud to be able to offer an exciting programme of webinars during the Covid-19 crisis.
To be able to do this, we do need help to replace event revenue we have lost this year.
Every penny helps, goes directly towards events and we are very grateful for your contribution.

Ingrid Alpern
My Separate Worlds: Daughter of the Holocaust and Evangelical Christianity
The little-known story of a Dutch Jewish family that escaped Nazi-occupied Europe through Vichy France, onto a ship to Surinam in South America. A story of heroism and hope.
Join Ingrid Alpern as she discusses her family’s escape and reveals the impact of the escape on the next generation and how her personal Holocaust legacy led her into the cultural divisions in America. Her talk goes beyond the escape to tell how an estranged father and daughter learned to communicate across the cultural divide in America and illustrates how empathy can build relationships.
Ingrid Alpern, a Smith College graduate, taught about the Holocaust before her career as an attorney in Washington, D.C. and now does public policy work for a disability nonprofit. Ingrid has also published poetry and essays.
