The Event is Approaching...

As our Night event grows closer, our discussion groups become busier and busier. We have groups leading discussions on Holocaust Denial, Music from Terezin, Targets of the Holocaust, and others. We also have some students making posters about Propaganda, Elie Wiesel(the author of Night), and a poster about the Facing History and Ourselves program.

I feel that the event is slowly coming together. If everyone puts in hard work and some good effort over the next few days, then the event will be a success. I think that the event will come out well, and I look forward to hearing some of the talks on Wednesday!
In the worlds of Elie Wiesel, "There are victories of the soul and spirit. Sometimes, even if you lose, you win."

  1. That's a good quote. I like it.

    It must be hard to live it at times. I think that living that quote would make a lot of things easier to bear. Maybe even, as the earlier poster mentioned, it would make resistance easier.
