2. I am Stephanie Richter’s instructor, Levi Krein, and I would like to congratulate Stephanie on producing an excellent presentation.There are times when a project just comes together. I think, Stephanie’s choice of images, her sequence of images and slides, and her choice of music are perfect. I found myself mesmerized! Perhaps Stephanie’s presentation will help each of us “care” (community & respect) just a little bit more. The presentation is designed to transition by itself. Turn on your sound, sit back and for eight minutes you too may be captivated. Click your mouse to start the presentation.

3. Elie Wiesel & The Holocaust

4. Born in 1928 in Sighet, Romania Age of 15 his family was deported by the Nazis to Auschwitz in 1944

5. Family To this day I am mourning for my father, perhaps because I didn't mourn the day I became an orphan. The ordeals that preceded his death remain with me, in all their violence. I described them in Night: the death march to Gleiwitz, sleeping in the snow, the train journey standing up in open wagons exposed to the elements, the demented cries of the living dead before our arrival to Bucehnwald. Here again, I could spend my life retelling that story. How can I silence the cries that rage within me? (Wiesel, 92) On January, 1945 in Buchenwald, Wiesel's father died of dysentery.
