Woodmere Middle School eighth graders Romy Fruman and Harley Moritz presented to both Hewlett and Ogden Elementary schools students on the Kindertransport.
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, for the two middle school students.
The duo spoke to Mary Ann Rutter’s class at Hewlett Elementary, on May 19 and 150 fourth and fifth graders at Ogden, on June 3.
Fruman is a former student of Rutter and Assistant Principal Reina Hall.
“I feel that they spoke a little bit in generality about World War II and they talked a lot about compassion and what a lot of children have gone through,” Rutter said
