Educators and students: Don’t miss this special opportunity to join a live conversation with Holocaust survivor Mark Schonwetter. As a young child, Mark survived the Holocaust through the kindness of Polish neighbors and by hiding in attics, barn and in the forest. Despite his experiences during the Holocaust, Mark lives by the saying, “Live every day with love not hatred and you will accomplish so much more in life”. By participating in this webinar, students will be empowered to confront antisemitism and inspired to learn more about the Holocaust and its lessons for today.
