Holocaust Memorial

I thought I'd include here a special event from school that our STAND (Students Taking Action Now Darfur) group is doing together with Ms. Chilaka's Peer Leadership class.

One of the important themes we have been emphasizing at HHS for the last 5 years is genocide awareness. Ahead of the Holocaust Memorial events next week at Nauset Middle School, we planted 3000 flags - one for every 500 children killed.


These were the 30 students from our S-block Psychology and Peer Leadership classes who finished planting the flags today. There is a powerful effect to see the kids spread out among the flags memorializing the 1.5 million killed - about 10% of all deaths in the Holocaust.
