What started out as a social studies school project has evolved into a passion for learning and sharing information about the Holocaust, most specifically the Kindertransport.
Harley Moritz and Romy Fruman, Woodmere Middle School eighth graders, created a documentary for their National History Day project at school. They interviewed Manfred Korman, 93, about his experience during the Kindertransport — a rescue effort, transporting nearly 10,000 mostly Jewish refugee children to Great Britain from Nazi Germany between December 1938 and May 1940 — according to the Holocaust encyclopedia.
The girls had the opportunity to speak at the unveiling of the first Kindertransport dedication bench at the Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center, in Glen Cove on May 4.
