Nooksack Valley High School hosts Holocaust Survivor

On Wednesday, June 3, over 300 students at Nooksack Valley High School had the opportunity to listen to Noemi B., a Holocaust survivor, share her story.

Teacher Kirsten Jensen has done extensive Holocaust studies with her students. Kirsten has used the Holocaust Center's teaching trunks for the past two years and organized this program for her school. The Holocaust Center has selected Kirsten as one of two teachers to attend the Jewish Foundation for the Righteous (JFR) Summer Insitute in New York at the end of June.

A special thank you to Kirsten for showing me her classroom (and letting me take a photo of her) and telling me more about how and what she teaches.

-Ilana Cone Kennedy, Director of Education
