Coordinated by the museum, the Bureau of Jewish Education, the United Teachers of Los Angeles, child survivor groups and Second Generation, the event will involve about 1,100 students from public, parochial and Jewish day schools throughout the city. The program will include students’ original poems and readings on the Holocaust.
