On Friday 8th grade students had the unique experience to listen to first hand testimony of a holocaust survivor, Danny Goldsmith. Danny captivated the audience with his story of survival and the kindness other people showed him during his time in hiding. Mr. Goldsmith is part of the Holocaust Awareness Museum and Education Center whose mission is to educate students and adults in the Philadelphia area and throughout the world, personalizing the Holocaust so that they learn the consequences of racism, ethnic cleansing, and intolerance. We believe that studying and discussing the Holocaust provides one of the most effective ways to work with students to examine basic moral issues and value systems. What are the lessons of the Holocaust for us today?
