Because of the shortened schedule this week we watched sections of SCHINDLERS LIST. We will resume learning about the U.S. in the war Friday and finish up after Spring Break! While watching, I hope that you were able to put yourselves in the shoes of those who had to endure the Holocaust.  I hope that you recognized that in the face of so much evil, there were still many good people who did everything they could to help those who were being persecuted-
Please take a moment to reflect on WHY Oskar Schindler did what he did
