  • Zachor In-School Programs

The Zachor Antisemitism Initiative ran a Holocaust/Antisemitism program to high school students in Valley Central on December 6, 2022.

Kathy Kimball-Wurster, Director of the Zachor Antisemitism Initiative presented the American Witness project to the 10th grade Social Studies classes in Valley Central High School. The American Witness project is a series of posters with audio accompaniment that describes eyewitness accounts of the Holocaust by American soldiers during World War II. The American Witness project is on loan to the Jewish Federation of Greater Orange County through the United States Memorial Holocaust Museum and the Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies at the United States Military Academy.

In addition, the Holocaust in History class welcomed Mimica Tsezana Hyman, a Board Member of the American Friends of the Jewish Museum of Greece. Ms. Hyman presented the documentary, “Song of Life” by Toni Likouressis. The film details how the entire Jewish community of the Greek island of Zakynthos was protected by the bishop, the mayor, and residents from the Nazis. This is the island that Ms. Hyman’s family lived on during World War II.
