Norm enjoyed sharing the Irena Sendler story, Life in a Jar and the Lowell Milken Center For Unsung Heroes in History, to a wonderful audience in West Long Branch, New Jersey. The emails from the audience were most appreciated and echoed our belief that one person can change the world. Thanks Angela Natenzon and the great group of volunteers who made the stay so enjoyable.

We have a big announcement coming(more on this later)!!!!!

We are looking forward to the World Federation of Jewish Holocaust Survivors and Descendants conference in Warsaw this August. Stefanie Seltzer, Rene Lichtman and many others are working to make this conference present a powerful statement.

Congratulations to the five Fort Scott projects that competed at the National History Day national competition this week. Three of the projects came in 4th, 7th and 10th in the nation. Life in a Jar was originally a National History Day project.

Cathy Gorn and the NHD staff continue to offer learning opportunities in this great program to close to a million students each year. The 4th place winner was based on the story of Hiram Bingham IV and his work using visas to save Jews during the Holocaust.
