It's one thing to read about history. It's an entirely different experience to hear from someone who lived it.Holocaust survivor and author Michael Fryd spoke to the students there about his experience, which began when he was just three years old as German forces rounded up his family.
Fryd spent about an hour with high school students talking about his experience surviving the Holocaust when he was a child. Students say hearing from Fryd is even more impactful than reading the story of a Holocaust survivor. "As a teacher, I feel it's very important to have someone who has lived and experienced history come and speak to my students," she said.
