After completing a Holocaust unit of study, Katie Ferrari and Claudia Overpeck’s senior English classes recently visited the CANDLES Holocaust Museum and Education Center in Terre Haute. They viewed the new Eva Kor hologram and toured the museum. Although sobering, the students appreciated the museum’s mission to prevent prejudice and hatred through education about the Holocaust. The students then enjoyed lunch together at Mogger’s and spent some time at Deming Park.
