I was talking to a friend whom is a teacher I am going to call Mrs C. Mrs C teaches 8th grade english and reading and every year she reads a short autobiography (sorry i forgot name of book) to the children. It is a book written by a Jewish survivor of the Nazi concentration camps. She cries as the reads the book to the children and after asking for volunteers she will set-up simulations with them For instance

1) One day during the readings she will take all their personal belongs from them for the class period just like the Nazis did to the Jews

2) She will put them in a small corner and forbid them to leave.

She includes in her section on the book study the part that the Christian religion played in the holocaust which must be hard considering she is a Christian. Furthermore by and large most of her students are Christians.

She tells me the children cry with her distraught that people of their religion could be so cruel to another funneling their anger through tears.

Every year a class, mainly of Christians, leave her classroom more religious tolerant than when they came in and a new one comes in for a lesson in religious tolerance.

Mrs C is my hero.

I think we should copy anything good....sometimes you don't realize what you can do until you see others do it.
