Northport K-8 School was pleased to present the Holocaust program Living Voices recently to all sixth graders at the school. The Living Voices program is an interactive program that incorporates Holocaust history, the story of the Frank family and video and audio presentation to engage students in realistic history about the Diary of Anne Frank. The story enhancement of the program was told from the point of view of a young girl living through the Holocaust who was friends with the Franks. The program supports Holocaust education in our school and deepens and enriches student information about the Holocaust. Pictured are sixth graders from Amanda Sartain’s class with the program presenter.
