Center School students meet Holocaust Survivor

Middle School students at Center School learn first hand about the Holocaust with a visit from a Holocaust survivor.

Middle school students at Center School had the opportunity to participate in the Witness to History- Survivor Presentation. This program is sponsored by the Holocaust Awareness Museum and Education Center in Northeast Philadelphia. (http://www.hamec.org/)

Students were provided with the opportunity to meet with and listen to the testimony of Mr. David Tuck, a Holocaust Survivor. He shared his experiences as a concentration camp victim and his subsequent liberation by US led forces. Students were able to engage in meaningful conversation with Mr. Tuck and ask questions about his experiences.

We are grateful to have had the chance for students to participate in such a meaningful program and thank Mr. Tuck for his sacrifices.
