This Thursday, April 18th, Mr. Peter Wigmore will be speaking to our class.
He is a retired special education teacher, and is a "2nd generation survivor" of the Holocaust, meaning that at least one of his parents in this case his mother is a survivor of the Holocaust. Specifically, she survived Auschwitz, where she had to endure Mengele's "medical experiments." His mother, Rosa, is still alive, living here in the Portland area, but she refuses to speak publicly about her experiences. So Peter has been telling her story for going on 30 years now.
He will be speaking from 1:00 until 2:30. Parents are welcome to join us. It would not be appropriate for younger siblings. Please let me know if you are attending so I can have extra chairs available.
