I realize that in my last post - just over a month ago - I said my blog has gone to bed. I lied. This week is Holocaust Education Week and Halifax, through the Atlantic Jewish Council, has a fantastic line-up of presentations, talks, and short films.
I hope to attend several of these events, and do a bit more with my blog, recapping these stories for those who cannot attend, as well as (once again) stressing the importance of Holocaust education.
I, unfortunately, have not yet planned an event here in Halifax similar to An Evening of Education and Inspiration, but continue to search out recent articles relating to the Holocaust and have several discussions with other passionate friends on numerous topics. If nothing else, I am furthering my education.

Hi Laura,
ReplyDeleteWhat an opportunity to take part in the Pilgrim-
age to Poland. You are doing a great service to
educate both yourself and others. Keep up the
good work. It would be great if you could go to
Israel too. I've been there and have had some
incredible experiences there with the Jewish
people in the "Promised Land" of Israel
All the best to you.
Sincerely,
Bob Watson
