While working on a broader project about Jewish History in Thessaloniki, the students came across some gravestones, which they photographed and brought to school. We contacted the Israeli history teacher Ronen Kandel, whom I met  during the CSA 2016. He provided the translations. The students then created this video which got them a ticket to visit Auschwitz for free. They added English subtitles and are happy to share it with you!
