Werner Weinstock

The fourth and fifth grade students were fortunate today to have holocaust survivor and liberator Werner Weinstock speak to them about his experience in WWII. The hour-long presentation took students on a journey from his life in Berlin in the 1930s He escaped worn-torn Germany with his mother, father, and brother to Havana, Cuba. His family was eventually welcomed into the United States. Once in the United States, Mr. Weinstock joined the United States Army and fought in WWII in Japan. Later, he was in Germany as part of the denazification process.  His experiences were captivating for the students and teachers alike. We are incredibly thankful that we have the opportunity to learn his lessons so something like this will never happen again.
