History Comes Alive in English Classes

Amber Peters (7th grade English) arranged for Mr. Horst Cahn to visit her classes and speak to students about his experiences as a Holocaust survivor.  Ms. Peters writes, "Today Mr. Cahn shared his experiences (having survived three years at Auschwitz) and his views on life (i.e. eliminating the word "hate" from your vocabulary).  The students asked wonderful questions, and they seemed to have really appreciated the experience of hearing history first-hand."


Mr. Cahn also accompanied the seventh graders on their field trip to the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles on February 12.


Ms. Peters hopes to have Mr. Cahn back to visit more AEA classes in the near future.
