TDHS students & parents visit the Holocaust Center

On Sunday, November 13, the 6th grade Sunday school class from Temple De Hirsch Sinai, along with their parents, visited the Holocaust Center.

While here, they had the opportunity to ask questions of survivor Peter M., view the Center's artifacts, and check out items from the Center's library.

It was a fantastic group - insightful, inquisitive, and attentive. The Holocaust Center thanks the entire group and the TDHS staff for making the visit possible!
