Holocaust Survivor from Museum of Tolerance speaks with students…
On January 6th, Centerville Middle School students had a unique opportunity to speak with a Holocaust survivor. Mrs. Bonholtzer and Mrs. Waddington took their students via videoconference to the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles, CA. Through the museum’s Bridging the Gap Program, special speakers can share their powerful stories using videoconferencing technology to viewers all over the world. Our students spoke with a Mr. Peter Daniels who was a child in a concentration camp. He spoke of his painful experience growing up during this difficult time. Students took turns asking questions and interacted with Mr. Daniels. We all admired his courage to tell his story and share the memories of his childhood. Mr. Daniels’ message to us was that we all need to value each other and be tolerant of one another. A peaceful future depends on these actions. This was a very powerful videoconference for our students and teachers!
