On January 27th, students at Long Beach High School commemorated International Holocaust Remembrance Day with a display from the County Holocaust Museum, and speaker Felice Katz, whose mother was a Holocaust survivor. Our LBHS orchestra followed with a moving performance of the theme song from Shindler's List. This presentation, on the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, is one part of the District's commitment to fight hatred and bias in our community. A committee of students, teachers, parents and administrators recently met to begin planning for "Remembrance Week" to be held in the Middle School and High School (along with partners at Long Beach Catholic and Torah High School) in early April. During this week, students will study each day a different group affected by the Holocaust. We will close the week with a multi-school event celebrating our commitment to inclusion and respect in the Long Beach community!
