their tragic passing. It was six months after the sudden
death of her 28-year-old eldest daughter, Miya, and every day she felt like she
was treading water.
"When Miya died, I was paralyzed with the fear that she would be forgot-

couldn't fathom the idea that people would forget Miya, that they would not
know how fantastic she was. So I went on a mission for everyone I came into
contact with to know Miya."

Detroit-area survivors and published their stories and portraits in a book
titled Living Witnesses. Then, she began traveling the globe in search of
remaining Holocaust survivors so their stories and their faces would not be
forgotten.
"I've had enough experience now with losing people that I know the
importance of keeping their memory alive, in thought and in portrait:' Must
says.
