Back when I was in high school we set math class aside and watched The Holocaust mini series. It was math time well spent.

Our math teacher was a concentration camp inmate who survived.

Going to school in NYC and NJ, so many of my teachers were Holocaust survivors. Even my piano teacher who worked out of her house. My first landlord was a Holocaust survivor!

I am an urban public school teacher. Back in the early 2000's an older lady worked in our building as a substitute teacher.

She was friendly, but never said much. The kids treated her shabbily, as they treated all subs. And by "shabbily", I mean they were disrespectful to her, insulting, and rude.

The administration did nothing to help her, as usual. It was only after she passed away that I learned she was a concentration camp survivor.

For me, War and Remembrance was the ultimate Holocaust series, there are scenes in that that make what was in Schindler’s List seem tame, and that was a Made-for-TV series.
