Dear Tsipy,
After viewing the piece about your inspiring work on WQED the other evening, I wanted to let you know how much you have changed my life. I met you at the Holocaust Center in 2004, and you helped me to get funding for my trip to Poland in 2005 with you. Since then, I’ve attended both the Belfer and Next Step Conferences at the USHMM in addition to any other workshop or conference available in the area. In addition to teaching about the Holocaust in my classroom, I’ve presented to various community groups. Last week I conducted a workshop at the National Catholic Education Convention held here in Pittsburgh. Many people approached me from all over the country who are also interested in spreading the stories and lessons of the Holocaust.
Holocaust Education has become my passion. I’ve continued to grow a small library of books and videos to share with kids and adults alike. I spend hours watching video and researching online to enhance lessons and find new material.
Thank you so much for changing my life. Please continue to inspire others as you did me.
