Holocaust Remembrance Day
~On Tuesday Alina Kentof came to the Ape classrooms and told us of her experiences as a child in Krakow, Poland during the Holocaust! This was a special way to end our unit of study on the Shoah, or Holocaust. She was amazing! We loved hearing her story about kicking the Nazi, trading jewels for food, being smuggled out of the ghetto, singing in a kibbutz, screaming in a jail, and countless other true tales. It was an honor to meet her, and it is our responsibility to not forget the stories of the Holocaust.
