Sam Azeez Museum

Our 7th grade visited the Sam Azeez Museum to learn about our local connection to Jewish Holocaust survivors, forgiveness, perseverance, and courage. Program director Devon Patchel introduced a moving documentary entitled Big Sonia, about an Auschwitz-Birkenau survivor who has shared her story with many to show the power of love and truth in healing. Executive director Jane Stark gave a tour of the synagogue and had students touch an actual Holocaust Torah, and Miss DeeDee explained some of Woodbine’s early history and settlement by Russian Jews. #dtschoolsrock
