Our museum is off to a good start this year. We have a small but eager group of students who are working hard on designing three new trees and a traveling exhibit. Our traveling exhibit focuses on Nazi Propaganda and includes written and pictorial information as well as a special propaganda film made by John Wade. This film will show students how visual and aural stimulation can influence one's perception when a strong bias is present.
Our first new honour tree of the year is for Henry Meyer. Henry is originally from Germany and was a child of the Kindertransport. He will also be speaking about his experience at this year's Yom HaShoah service, April 18, 2012, 7:00PM, Beth Israel Synagogue, Centre Street at Union Street. We hope to see everyone there.
Our team this year is: Stephanie Dong, Brittany Evans, Danielle Hartwick, Dietrea Holtz, and John Wade. They are small but mighty and work extremely hard everyday. If you are interested in a tour for your class or would like our traveling exhibit to visit your school, please email teacher Pamela Simon at simonp@limestone.on.ca We look forward to seeing you this year.
