Teacher Response
We always love to hear feedback from teachers and students who use the teaching trunks and hear from members of our Speakers Bureau! Today we heard this from one of our teachers:
"I just wanted to share how thankful we, at West Valley Junior High, are that we were honored to have Peter as our speaker this morning. Countless students have shared how powerful his words were today, and that it easily has been the most powerful day of education that they have ever had. I can easily share their viewpoints. To connect this day with their reading and study of this time period, has made it come alive in a hugely personal way for my students.
Thank you so very much for providing the education trunk that we have been using in our classes, and for providing these services for teachers. It has been a very special day here at West Valley Junior High."

TDHS Visits the Holocaust Center!
On Sunday, students (and their parents) from the 6th grade class at Temple De Hirsch Sinai visited the Holocaust Center! During their time at the center, they had the chance to interact with Steve Alder, a child survivor of the Holocaust and member of our Speakers Bureau, and to examine our collection of artifacts with the help of our artifacts intern, Mark Mulder. Personal and hands-on learning about the Holocaust at its finest! See more photos!
