Sami Steigmann: “By forgiving others, you forgive yourself”

MVRHS students had the extraordinary fortune to meet Holocaust survivor Sami Steigmann on Tuesday, May 12th.  In a series of talks to large groups of students in the library, he greatly impressed everyone.  In spite of his life story, being a child of Holocaust survivors and a Holocaust survivor himself, he remains positive. "In every calamity there is an opportunity."   Special thanks to Dr. Elaine Weintraub and her organizing committee for inviting him to MVRHS. The organizing committee: Jason Lages, Jr. Teles, Gabe Nunes, Michael Morris, Thomas O'Shaughnessy and Annie Ollen. Photography by Junior Teles:   Read More / Leia mais
