How is it that hate and prejudice can so easily take root? All Renfroe sixth graders had a chance to examine this issue during the full-day event No Place For Hate. They learned how some people use hate to gain personal power and the destructive results of letting hate take hold. Through a DEF grant, they heard firsthand the experiences of Norbert Friedman, a 95-year-old survivor of several Nazi concentration camps, including Dachau. With so few Holocaust survivors still living, this was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Miranda Borland asks Norbert Friedman about life in a Nazi concentration camp.
