Eighth grade students from North Haven Middle School’s Yellow Team embraced Holocaust survivor Judith Altmann’s story and words of wisdom on March 2. Altmann spoke to approximately 80 students and a handful of adults about her experiences surviving concentration and labor camps, as well as a death march.

The North Haven Middle School PTSA donated to the Holocaust Child Survivors of Connecticut in honor of Altmann.
