Holocaust Survivor Brings Lessons to Life in Tulare Co. Schools

Holocaust Survivor Brings Lessons to Life in Tulare Co. Schools

The study of the World War II Holocaust will come alive for students this week, as Holocaust survivor Elane Geller visits several campuses.

She will be at Granite Hills High School for presentations at 9:45 and 6 p.m. today.

Tomorrow morning, she will be at Harmony Magnet Academy in Strathmore.

At 1:15 p.m., she will be at Strathmore High School.

 

Geller will shares her message of human dignity, compassion, and remembrance for those who gave their lives during World War II.

“You would do well to ask yourself why a sane person would relive this story about such great pain,” she tells audiences of students.  “It’s about prevention of racism and bigotry and anti-Semitism.” 

Ms. Elane Norich Geller was born in a Polish town not too far from the birthplace of the late Pope John Paul II.

CONTEST OFFERS $150 AWARD TO FOURTH-GRADE STUDENT     

  

Some lucky fourth-grader will win $150 if he or she is the winner of the 14th Annual Farm Water Poster Contest sponsored by the California Farm Water Coalition. Teachers of the top three entries will each receive a $100 cash award for classroom supplies.

The contest recognizes "Water Awareness Month" and emphasizes how California farmers use water to produce food and fiber.

"It has been amazing to view the entries over the years and realize that these students have grasped the importance of water to California farmers," said Mike Wade, Coalition Executive Director. "The posters have not only portrayed the use of water on the farm but also its source."
