Please join us for a meaningful reception as author and Holocaust survivor Mireille S. Taub launches her memoir The Last Train From Paris: Escape and Refuge 1940.

The Last Train From Paris is a deeply personal and historically rich memoir that weaves together first-hand stories of survival, resistance, and remembrance during one of humanity's darkest times - the Holocaust.
