The visit was also meant to specifically address those students who participated in the Names Not Numbers program, the oral history project in which seniors interview Holocaust survivors for a professional video that is to be archived in Yad Vashem. In his speech, Dr. Berenbaum highlighted the importance of the students becoming the bridge between the generation of survivors and the generation of children who will not hear first hand the stories of Jewish survival and loss of life during the Holocaust. Dr. Berenbaum also noted that the Magen David, the symbol of Israel and Judaism today, was a symbol of inferiority and lowliness of Jews during the Shoah, but later became a symbol of freedom, pride, and hope for the Jewish people.We thank Dr. Berenbaum for visiting MTA and providing words of inspiration to us all.
