Initiatives and Collaborations | Bridges Of Understanding

Dr. Laura Konigsberg, Head of Turning Point School

"David and Daniel are bearing the responsibility of sharing their grandparents’ stories in their own quest to make the world a more just, equitable place and to encourage hopeful ways to respond to despair and pain... I can think of no more fitting way to honor Holocaust Remembrance Day than to be immersed in this intergenerational project"
