Seventh and eighth graders are in the midst of a three-part program to learn more about Kristallnacht. First, they studied first-hand sources about the night of broken glass, written by women who experienced it. Then, on Wednesday they heard from some incredible slam poets who were brought in by Arts at Large.

The goal was to get our students to really FEEL and CONNECT with the past. I believe the goal was met after seeing our students’ reactions and their reflections.

We are so thankful to HERC and Federation for bringing us together with Bader Hillel to experience this series of programs.
