This photograph says to me that the Jewish people will continue on for years as the Good Book said the descendants of Abraham would be as many as the stars. I saw this from the fact that the arms were one old and one young, signifying the old and young generations. I saw the eternal symbolism in the fact that the arms are linked as they are. It is a really impactful picture.
The goal of this blog is to start and then ultimately maintain a conversation about Holocaust education and righting injustices in today's world. An amazing Holocaust survivor once reminded me of a quote by Edmund Burke that "all it takes for evil to triumph in the world is for good men to stand by and do nothing." We are those "good men." YOU are those "good men" of the future. What are we doing? Please feel free to comment on any postings, both current and past (and even future) students!
I am so lucky to have an amazing job at the best high school in the whole world, teaching the most wonderful students (MOST days)! This is where you can hear my musings, reflections on literature, and showcase assignments.
