The Holocaust is a horrible stain on our world history.
Today’s students are normally left to learn about this tragic event by reading their textbooks, but that isn’t the case for students at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Catholic School in Herrin.
They learned about this trying time, from someone who lived through it.
Felicia Graber is a Holocaust Survivor. She talks about her experience as “a miracle, it’s also a duty to go on and to spread the word because I’m one of the youngest survivors. I was born after the war had already started.”
Felicia Graber pushes on and continues to tell her story. It’s a story of survival, luck, and faith.
Graber says, “Out of one million Polish Jewish children, historians estimate, there’s only about 5,000 left. I’m also more fortunate then I’m just alive, that both of my parents survived and I was never separated from them.”
This learning experience is something that few will get to do in the future, because of age and time.
