NSU To Honor Holocaust Reflection Contest Winners, March 14

There’s an old saying: “Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” George Santayana

Nothing could ring truer, especially when it comes to the Holocaust. That’s why the Holocaust Reflection Contest is so important – it gets today’s generation involved in learning about, remembering and honoring the 6 million Jews and the millions of others who died. More than 1,400 students across Florida at the middle and high school level submitted artwork, poetry and film creations.

This year we expect 10 Holocaust survivors to be on hand – the most in the history of the contest – who will interact and share their experiences with students and attendees. In addition, NSU is very pleased to welcome the Consuls General from Israel and Germany to the event, which is scheduled for March 14 from 10 a.m. – noon.
