Schindler's List Survivor Proud of WHS Students

Friday night, community members will hear Schindler's List survivor Rena Finder speak at Westborough High School.

But recently, Finder was happy to hear that the Westborough High Facing History Club organized the school's first observance of National Holocaust Remembrance Day, starting a school tradition.

"I'm very proud of them, and very grateful, because the survivors are dying. There are less of us," she said.

"It's amazing that kids would do a thing like that. I wish other kids would follow that example."

Finder will speak at WHS at 7 p.m. Friday.

Several students who have taken the school's Facing History and Ourselves course also will make presentations.

The Westborough Friends of Facing History and Ourselves Foundation is sponsoring the event. Tickets are $10 for adults, and $5 for students.
