History gets Personal for NDES Students
Never forget! As part of the ELA curriculum focus on the holocaust, Mrs. Colleen Musial’s 6th-grade class came to life with a visit to the Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage and a lecture by Sol Factor.
During their field trip to the museum, students gained a greater understanding of Jewish heritage and culture through exhibitions, interactives and films, oral histories, photographs, and artifacts. The very next week, they attended a lecture by Sol Factor, a professor of Jewish studies at Kent State University, in which he presented information and discussed the roles and challenges children faced during the holocaust. Factor is a child of a holocaust survivor and shared his personal story.
Through literature, field trips and lectures, students not only discover the facts about the holocaust and World War II, but they make personal connections with people from the past whose lives were impacted by the holocaust.
