"Our students LOVED, LOVED, LOVED the materials, the books, the videos, the causes and effects, everything about it. For some of my non-readers, the books on the Holocaust were the first they had read from cover to cover all year (without being forced to!)."
-Maureen Maher Gray, Teacher, St. Aloysius School, Spokane. Borrowed a Trunk in 2008. | |
