WOODBINE – Dennis Township Middle School, seventh-grade students, recently visited the Sam Azeez Museum in Woodbine to learn about the area’s local connection to Jewish Holocaust survivors, forgiveness, perseverance, and courage.
According to a release, program director Devon Patchel introduced a documentary entitled “Big Sonia,” about an Auschwitz-Birkenau survivor who has shared her story with many to show the power of love and truth in healing.
Executive director Jane Stark gave a tour of the synagogue and had students touch an actual Holocaust Torah, and Miss DeeDee explained some of Woodbine’s early history and settlement by Russian Jews.
