On January 27, 2012, Lemkin House became a reality. We closed on our building at 817 Livingston NE in Grand Rapids Michigan.
With magical synchronicity, January 27 is also the International Day of Holocaust Remembrance. So I made sure to tuck a rosemary sprig in my pocket.
Our vision for Lemkin House is that it become, not another social service agency, but a community of asylum seekers, successful asylees, students, religious congregations, lawyers and social workers. Not ‘us’ serving ‘them’, but all of us working together.
We hope you will join us. My personal email is maia.storm@gmail.com, or you can call me at 269 599-6951. I look forward to hearing from you!
