Learning about the Holocaust

 Last week the students in Ms. Cozzolino Giorlando's grade 11 and 12 classes participated in a meet with a survivor of the Holocaust.  After reading the novel "The Weight of Freedom" the students met with the author Nate Leipciger.  Through a Q&A the students furthered their understanding of the Shoa. 

They were very attentive and asked very poignant questions.
