Michel Gill

Michel is a first generation American born to parents who narrowly escaped the Holocaust. They themselves sprung from the Great Diaspora, which began in Moscow, Odessa and Kiev. Michel's mother, Nadine Gill, (née Racine) lives in New York, and his father, James Vladimir Gill, lived in Switzerland until his death in 1995. James was less preoccupied with having survived the horrible events of the 30's and 40's and more concerned about how he was going to survive survival.
