 Deb Bowen's Vision

 

Through understanding the lessons of Holocaust stories we would like to help students recognize they can make a difference by being part of this writing program now called  A BOOK by ME

 

I'm asking ordinary children to do something extraordinary!

 

The exceeded my expectations by writing and illustrating beautiful story books that honor the stories and keep them alive for the next generation.

 

As I worked with kids introducing them to the stories of Esther Aruch, Esher Katz and Esther Schiff, I realized they are perfect teaching tools for kids of all ages.  We learn:

 

 

Holocaust Series

We realized the importance of telling stories from the Jewish Holocaust survivor perspective, the WWII veteran (especially those who were eyewitnesses to the horrors of the camps or the plight of the Jewish people) and the Righteous Gentiles who risked their lives to help the Jewish people.

 

Human Rights Series

Then the vision broadened to include stories of refugees today, Civil Rights stories and more.  A second series was born ... our Human Rights series.

 

Heroes Series

Last, we created a third series called Heroes series telling the stories of brave men and woman who have risked their lives for freedom sake.

 

The project keep growing and growing!  

Help us grow today!
