Teacher Eliana Lipsky’s Facing History class of 7th and 8th graders surprised me by asking several questions about facts and feelings that had not been asked since I started making these presentations, questions that were so natural and obvious that I had expected these would have already been asked in some of my previous talks, yet were not asked until this session.   It is these differences in the reactions and questions of the students that make each session unique, interesting and stimulating, and encourage me to continue.  This presentation was arranged by Shira Deener of Facing History and Ourselves.
