I was deeply complimented to see the news story, in the March 4 issue, about the Holocaust museum created in my honor by the 11th-grade students at Bruriah High School in February.

Words cannot express how impressed I was with their initiative and their uncommon interest in preserving the memory of that era for future generations.

In addition to my heartfelt thanks to the 11th-grade students and to Mrs. Peikes, allow me to publicly thank as well both the 12th-grade class, which offered guidance and support to the 11th-grade class as they created the museum, and to 11th grader Shana Schwartz, who led me on a tour of the Holocaust Museum. I’m very grateful for their time and effort.

In my experience, it is not often that a teacher can see the lasting impact of their work past retirement. I have been extraordinarily blessed to see that the passion for creatively sharing aspects of that awful epoch continues to animate the students at Bruriah. I find that quite encouraging.
