Mimi Rubin had fond memories of growing up in Novy Bohumin,
Czechoslovakia, a place that ten thousand people called home. It
was a tranquil town until September 1, 1939, when the German army
invaded the city. From that day forward, eighteen-yearold Mimi
would face some of the harshest moments of her life.
This memoir follows Mimi's story-from her idyllic life in Novy
Bohumin before the invasion, to being transported to a Jewish
ghetto, to living in three different German concentration camps,
and finally, to liberation. It tells of the heartbreaking loss of
her parents, grandmother, and countless other friends and
relatives. It tells of the tempered joys of being reunited with her
sister and of finding love, marrying, and raising a family.
A compelling firsthand account, "Mimi of Novy Bohumin,
Czechoslovakia: A Young Woman's Survival of the Holocaust" weaves
the personal, yet horrifying, details of Mimi's experience with
historical facts about this era in history. This story helps keep
alive the memory of the millions of innocent men, women, and
children who died in the German concentration camps during the
1930s and 1940s.
