Miriam Winter was a Polish Holocaust survivor and writer. She is known for her authorship of Trains: A Memoir of a Hidden Childhood during and after World War II, which explores not only her survival of the Holocaust as a 'hidden child' but also the psychological toll of keeping her identity hidden, even to herself, in post-World War II Poland. She studied theater at the Leon Schiller Advanced State School for Theatre in Łódź before its division into separate theater and film schools. She has directed productions of Antigone, Ondine, and Peer Gynt. Her parents, maternal grandparents Szymon and Shajna Kohn, younger brother Józio, and other members of her extended family were murdered at the Treblinka extermination camp. Read more
