On Tuesday, April 14th, Ms. Roher, Mr. Penderghest, and 52 of their students in the Genocide, Holocaust, and Crimes against Humanity dual enrollment course visited our partners at Congregation Keneseth Israel's Holocaust Awareness Museum and Education Center to commemorate Holocaust Remembrance Day. The students were able to experience a 360-degree multimedia mobile immersive exhibit featuring a replica cattle car exhibit sponsored by Hate Ends Now and to tour the exhibits from the Holocaust in the museum. The exhibit focuses on the importance of empathy and recognizing the humanity of all people. The students enjoyed the opportunity to commemorate the pain of the past while celebrating the resilience of the human spirit.
