Thank you for telling your story to me. I felt really sad when you told your story, but I also felt really inspired. With your story I felt my education really growing. I could not imagine myself in your position as a teen. I wish I could have helped during this time.

Student at St. Robert School
I want to thank you for the outstanding teacher training you offered on Nazi Propaganda at UW-Oshkosh. I loved the range of voices you brought in, with their varied expertise and perspectives. I was thrilled to receive a copy of the book you gave us; I am very glad to have it and am sharing it with several colleagues who are interested in the topic as well. I appreciate also that the workshop was free. I look forward to the opportunity to have one of your speakers come to my classes and to working myself with the knowledge and materials you so generously provided. Thank you for your wonderful work.

Thank you so much for talking to us about the Holocaust and your life story. It meant a lot to me and I think it touched all of us dearly. I am so proud that I was able to meet a Holocaust survivor and I will remember you and your story for the rest of my life.

Student at St. Robert School
As 9th & 10th graders, my students are on the verge of making many decisions about their values and identity. Within the context of the Holocaust, HERC teaches values that I hope my students will come to live out in their daily lives.
