My girlfriend was my first rescuer. She was all of 15 years old. I will always remember her courage.- Hester K. was 13 years old when her hometown in Holland was occupied by the Nazis in 1942.

Yesterday Hester spoke to Lindsey Mutschler's students at Lake Washington Girls Middle School in Seattle.
Ms. Mutschler arranges for a survivor from the Holocaust Center's Speakers Bureau to come and speak to her students each year. This year they also used a Holocaust teaching trunk and plan to (again) participate in the Holocaust Center's Writing and Art Contest. (Each year LWGMS has seen an overwhelming number of winning entries.)
The Holocaust Center thanks Ms. Lindsey Mutschler and the LWGMS for their incredible work and commitment to Holocaust and genocide education.
