Hello Fellow CASLers:

If you live in New London county, this is a worthy program.  It’s even better if you can rope in (i.e. collaborate) a history or English teacher.  It only takes 5 students and the Jewish federation helps with transportation to the house of a Holocaust survivor.  The students interview them on 3 occasions (before/during/after) about their experiences and the students create a presentation at the end of the program.

I’ve participated three times and every is kind of blown away by the end.

Let me know if you have any questions,

Matt
