WEEK IN REVIEW:
Share Our Stories at Animo Watts 


Students at Animo Watts College Preparatory Academy participated in a reflective art workshop this week as part of our Share Our Stories program, which connects students from under-resourced schools with Holocaust Survivors for conversation, learning, and exploration. The students previously visited the Museum for a customized tour. After hearing Survivor Yona Nadelman speak, they created art reflecting Yona's experiences. 
With gratitude to the Joseph Drown Foundation for its generous support of free Holocaust education and school tours, to the Michael & Irene Ross Endowment Fund for its generous support of Voices of History programs, and to the Max H. Gluck Foundation for its generous support of the Share Our Stories Project.
