OUR PROGRAM SPEAKS FOR ITSELF: CHILDREN’S QUOTES “If I were to pick a role model, it would be you.” “I knew very little about the Holocaust before your visit to our school. You taught me so much…especially about the Kindertransport and what happened to you when you were only a child, alone.” “Less and less people aren’t learning the cruelty of what happened in that horrible time. Luckily, my classmates and I were fortunate enough to hear you speak.  Your story made us laugh and cry… learn and much more.” “Thank you for telling your life story of hiding. Your explanation taught me a lot about the Holocaust.” “It was interesting to hear about the St. Louis and how it was rejected by so many countries. It amazes me how you got to the United States after so many hardships.” “I learned a lot about what life was like back when the Holocaust was.” “Thank you for coming to our class. I learned so much but I was most interested in how much you went through as a child.“
