Shulamith girls travel to mark Kristallnacht

Shulamith seventh graders visited the Museum of Jewish Heritage on the anniversary of Kristallnacht, lighting candles in memory of those who suffered on that fateful night in 1938.The girls viewed artifacts from throughout Jewish history. Docents asked them questions and many were eager to respond or share stories of their own family history. The students learned more about what led to the Holocaust and some of the atrocities that occurred, coming away with much knowledge and the message of how important it is to continue to learn and remember so nothing like this ever happens again.
