Resilience. Strength. Triumph. Kindness. Hope. Perseverance. Courage. All of these words describe Marion Blumenthal Lazan, a Holocaust survivor, who gave a Zoom presentation to Sullivan Middle and High School students May 13. Her presentation was sponsored by a grant awarded to SHS English teachers Becky Lawson, Cami Badman, and Becca Stinebring by the Sullivan Community Education Foundation.
“Marion’s compassion and strength came through strongly even though she was almost a thousand miles away at her home in New York,” stated Becky Lawson, who noted that an in-person visit had been funded by the foundation last year but did not take place because of COVID.
Middle school history teacher Caiden Webb noted that he had several students who were “glued to the screen the entire time she spoke.”     Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
