It has been said that if we were to have a minute of silence for every victim of the Holocaust - then we would be silent for eleven and a half years.
The eight
grade students and staff at the Jordan-Small Middle School had the honor of
hearing Rudy Horowitz, a child Holocaust survivor, talk about his book, “Avoiding
the Cracks”.
This
special event coincided with an integrated curriculum unit that the students
have been working on during their Social Studies and ELA classes.
Mr.
Horowitz not only shared personal experiences and excerpts from his book, but
also shared words of wisdom, guidance and his positive outlook about future
generations.
Shown
here is Molly Cochrane with Mr. Horowitz, after she shared a poem that she had
written.
