Choosing a name.

This blog is dedicated to Miriam. We (students of csun) are in a joint class with students of LMU and we will be interviewing people who survived the Holocaust. The title of this project is Survivor Project for lack of a better title. However, having said that we have read the Shawl by Cynthia Ozick, in which her character Rosa resents the name "survivor", for survivor seems to deny her humanity. Rosa would rather be called "human being". The word survivor has been used to categorize those people who were victims of the atrocities that happened during World War II.

Miriam is our survivor which means she is the woman who lived through the Holocaust and will be sharing her story with us.

Our group: Olivia from LMU, Cynthia from Csun and Me, Sandra from CSUN
