Holocaust Symposium


On Feb 17th Henry Fournier took a group of 7th grade students to the Holocaust Symposium. The students participated in a break out session dealing with people who helped the Jews during the Holocaust.  They were part of a partisan group of dissenters that also fought back against the Nazis.  Dinner was exciting and the students listened to the story of Henry Greenbaum, a Holocaust survivor.  Between the ages of 12-17, Mr. Greenbaum was confined to a Jewish ghetto, shipped to Auschwitz and was part of a death march before being liberated by the English army.  He was eventually reunited with his surviving family and they moved to America after the war.  The students then met with Mr. Greenbaum and posed for pictures with him.
