4th- 8th Graders heard from guest speakers, community members, Leopold and Karen Sher, today- in honor of Yom Hashoa: Holocaust Remembrance Day. They shared the miraculous story of survival in Poland/ Russia of Joseph and Rachel Sher OBM and how they rebuilt their family in New Orleans after the war. Mr. Sher passed away 8 years ago in New Orleans at the age of 100, and was a beloved member of the NO Jewish community. It was interesting and inspiring for the students to hear the stories about Mr. and Mrs. Sher. Many lessons to take away for our times too!
