With the most sincere gratitude, I thank you on behalf of my students, our school, and my fellow English teachers and other colleagues. We are a school that shares every resource available to us, and these books, DVDs, and other learning materials will be used not only in my English classroom, but also in other humanities courses as well. Learning about the Holocaust allows students to not only discuss, recall, appreciate, and remember unfathomable and severe prejudice, but also, students are able to draw connections between their lives and the lives of the Jewish, Roma, Catholic, and other prisoners and victims of the World War II Holocaust. I believe this is the most valuable aspect of this unit. I have had extremely favorable responses from former students, as well as administrators and parents, regarding this holocaust unit. Now, with these new resources, this unit will be even more unforgettable and successful. This would not have happened without each and every one of you. From the very depths of my heart, thank you. Thank you. Thank you!
Thank you so much for purchasing these books. Many students will be impacted by them. These books are so special because the students can relate to other children's lives. The students get to realize how blessed they are to live in American and to have the ability to grow up in a safe place. These books will create one of the best life lessons which is to "Never Forget". They get to see what hate and prejudice can do. These books also give my students the opportunity to practicipate in the Butterfly Project which is sponsored by the Holocaust museum of Houston. It will be so nice to for each student to have their own book instead of copied handouts. Your donation is truly appreciated and it is money well spent. Because of you, active learning will be happening in my classroom. Your donation is a blessing. We can't thank you enough.”
With gratitude,
