The Moriah community gathered together last week at The Frisch School for the presentation of the eighth grade production of “Names, Not Numbers©.” The student-made documentary of survivors’ and war veterans’ accounts of the Holocaust included emotional and inspirational stories of strength, determination and appreciation. The production was an amazing success with the students learning interviewing and filming techniques and also gaining an appreciation for their own religious freedoms and the State of Israel. This was an amazing experience for the students who participated and who will carry these stories with them in the future. It is more important than ever for our students to hear first-hand accounts of this tragic historic event, some from their own relatives for the first time.

Thank you to Rachel Schwartz, Tova Fish-Rosenberg, Abby Herschmann and all of the participants who bravely shared their stories.
