Belfair - More than a dozen community members as well as a packed room of students at North Mason High listened quietly recently as Peter Metzelaar told his story of being hidden in The Netherlands, where he grew up, during World War II. Metzelaar was a Jewish boy who, as one of "the hidden," was protected by non-Jews and avoided being sent to a concentration camp.
The Holocaust Center for Humanity's mission is to inspire teaching and learning for humanity in the schools and communities of the Northwest through study of the Holocaust.
