Eva Schloss |
| April 2007: Fifth grade
students at SES learned about the Holocaust first hand from Eva Geiringer Schloss, a survivor of Auschwitz concentration
camp. After her lecture, Mrs. Schloss, accompanied by her
husband Zvi, answered students' questions.
She also spoke at Schweinfurt Middle School, with community
members at a reception, and after the performance of the play
And Then They Came for Me. (more below) |

| And Then They Came for Me:
Remembering the World of Anne Frank by James Still,
is based on the testimony of Anne’s boyfriend Helmuth Silberberg,
nicknamed Hello in her diary, and her friend Eva Schloss, a girl Anne’s
age who went into hiding the same day the Franks did and who was
betrayed on her 15th birthday and transported to Auschwitz. Eva and her mother survived the concentration camps.
Her father and brother did not. After the war, Eva's widowed mother married
Anne’s father Otto Frank, the only surviving member of the Frank family.
The play uses filmed interviews with Schloss and Silberberg
and historical photographs as a background for live actors
who re-create scenes from their lives. |

| SES fifth graders were inspired by
Mrs. Schloss to make links for a chain she had described to
them. Students from all over the world write their ideas
about how to make the world a better place and send their
chains to her. Here are a few of the things they
wrote: "Make the world a better place! Don't hurt innnocent
people. Help them instead." (A.L.); "Respect everyone.
It doesn't matter what religion or race they are." (C.S.);
"Keep the memory of all the people who died in the camps and
in WWII." (T.T.); "It does not matter what color
you are. It matters what's inside you." (S.S.); "You
won't know your future without knowing your past. So
remember the Holocaust." (F.M.); "I promise to
make the world a better place by learning from the past to
make a better future."(E.M.) |
