MIRIAM “MIRI”
BARR, 84, of
Bloomfield
Township, died
on June 9, 2021.
Miri, as fam-
ily and friends
called her, passed
away after a pro-
longed illness.
She survived the
Holocaust, as a
5-year-old orphan, a miracle
given that she escaped Belzec
death camp. After living with
partisans in the Black Forest,
she was liberated and then
immigrated to Israel.
She was a proud R.N. and
nursing instructor. Despite
everything and against all
odds, Miri survived to have a
wonderful family, which was
the center of her life. She
will miss her great-grandson
Noah Bigelman’s bar mitz-
vah and many other family
events that kept her family
so close together. Miri also
loved art, classical music,

fabrics and antique collec-
tions.
Mrs. Barr was married
to Isaac Barr, M.D.; they
raised four children, Michal
Firsht, Eliav Barr, Merav
Grindlinger and Tamar
Hermon, nine grandchildren
and four great-grandchil-
dren.
Miri was interred in Israel
at Menuhat Olam cemetery
in Netanya in the presence of
the Barr family and friends.
A memorial service was held
at Temple Israel with Rabbi
Paul Yedwab and Rabbi
Joseph Krakoff officiating.

ROSE BOHM, 92,
of West
Bloomfield, died
July 8, 2021.
She passed away
surrounded by her
loving children
and grandchil-
dren. She leaves
many legacies,
but her greatest
accomplishment is the incred-
ible family she built and life
lessons she instilled in all of
them.
In addition to her three
children and son-in-law,
Rose had eight grandchil-
dren who adored her, and
17 great-grandchildren that
were the lights of her life.
She had a very special and
unique relationship with
each one. Rose also had two
great-great-grandchildren,
whom she loved very much.
Rose was happiest when she
was surrounded by all the
kids.
In addition to her family
legacy, Rose also recorded and
published a diary, Remember
Never to Forget, about her
experience in the Holocaust.
As a survivor, she made her
family promise never to forget
