Winston Churchill paraphrasing George Santayana said “Those who fail to learn from history are condemned to repeat it”. These High School students need instruction on Holocaust education so that they can learn the history they so obviously don’t know or understand. My hope is that you will initiate Holocaust education in your school district.
Why is this important?
As an American, a Jew and as an educator I was upset about the image of boys doing the Nazi salute in a prom photo. I was especially disturbed that you decided to not punish these boys. I wonder if these boys had put up their middle finger or “mooned” for the photo if you would have reacted the same.
