It is important for students to understand the emotional impact of the Holocaust and not limit their studies to facts and statistics. Holocaust survivors are invited into the classroom to share their experiences and interact with students. Through this workshop, students create a Story Expression Project using multiple art forms. The projects serve as a tribute to the survivors and as a way to share their stories for future generations
