BLACK HISTORY MONTH IN SAN ANTONIO

This past week, the campus observed Holocaust Remembrance Week, which honors the memory of the six million Jews and millions of others who were victims of the Holocaust, serving as a reminder to reflect the dangers of hatred. This year, Holocaust Remembrance Week was held on January 27-31, with Holocaust Remembrance Day falling on January 27th. Students participated in a Holocaust Museum set up in the library with exhibits and artifacts from the Holocaust Memorial Museum of San Antonio, videos, crafts, and a VR tour of the annex where Anne Frank and her family hid. Select classes of Juniors also attended a presentation by guest speaker Genny Wind, a second generation Holocaust survivor and mother of two HCHS alumni.
