All About Miriam

Hear the first-hand account of one woman's amazing brushes with capture and death, how her post-war life has been shaped by her traumatising experiences and how, thanks to her yoga and meditation practice, she has come to a place of forgiveness.

Miriam Freedman was born in a small village in Czechoslovakia. Her life changed beyond recognition when the Nazi party came to power in 1933. Miriam and her immediate family survived by going into hiding, aided by those who put their own lives at risk to keep them safe.

Miriam’s life story will be told with a mix of film, live performance and conversation with Miriam, her family and friends.
