The Plainwell High School Holocaust Literature II class visited the Illinois Holocaust Museum in Skokie. During their visit, they asked very thoughtful questions to a hologram of a survivor who survived Auschwitz. They also toured the museum, made a pledge to be an upstander and also took a virtual reality trip to Auschwitz with Fritzie Fritzshall who was one of 600 workers in a factory. Ms. Fritzshall was the youngest in the group and vowed to tell their story, so every day each woman gave her a crumb of their portion of bread to help her survive. It was a great and memorable trip for these PHS students!
