Question: Is this like Holocaust Week or something!? Some sort of special event!?

Just wondering, because our entire school had to read a book (Boy in the Striped Pajamas - it was awesome) and we had a guest speaker come in today!. He talked about his grandparents, who didn't survive the Holocaust!. It was extremely compelling (at least for me) and a bit tearful!.

Plus, I think it was the Discovery Channel had some specials on Hitler and Anne Frank!?

So I was just curious!. Thanks ;)Www@QuestionHome@Com
