I am currently on a Sharaka delegation to Germany and Poland, where we are exploring the history of the Holocaust and its implications for our lives today. Today’s visit to Auschwitz will be incredibly impactful for me as a public school teacher in California. As I witness this important historical site first-hand, I am reminded of the importance of educating our younger generations about the horrors of the past.

My hope is that through sharing my experiences on social media, not only will my students benefit from a deeper understanding of the Holocaust, but others will be inspired to learn more about this dark time in history as well.
