Book Launch for The Orie O. Miller Diary, 1920-1921

The First World War and tumultuous events in Russia form the backdrop to Orie O. Miller's diary of 1920-1921. Representing the newly-formed Mennonite Central Committee, twenty-eight-year-old Miller was one of three American Mennonites who set sail in 1920 to bring relief to fellow Mennonites in war-torn Russia. In its unadorned simplicity, the diary provides an almost tactile impression of the lived experience of MCC’s first relief mission, seen through the eyes of its first field director, Orie O. Miller. Published by Pandora Press, the book is part of the Institute of Anabaptist and Mennonite Studies "Mennonite Reflections" series.
