[Lincolnparkdc] [The Washington Post] D.C. third-graders were made to reenact episodes from the Holocaust

[Holtzman, Steve (SMD 6B05)]

Michael,

   I saw this news this morning and it deeply disturbed me. I understand (but don't accept) how atrocity blurs into History for some. I lost a close family member at the Tree of Life so these wounds remain fresh.

I'm sure whoever initiated this exercise at Watkins had good intentions and was trying to do something productive. Frankly I don't know many of the details yet. But some lines don't get crossed.And, I know enough details to know that this crossed one.

    Steve

Dear Hill Friends, 
I hope the HillHavurah, my neighbors, and our local government leaders issue public statements on this atrocious anti-Semitic behavior at Watkins Elementary School. It is unacceptable and dangerous

D.C. third-graders were made to reenact episodes from the Holocaust

A school staffer member made students pretend to kill each other in mass graves during library class.
