Students Commemorate Auschwitz Liberation
Through art and music, Milken students work to keep the memory alive.
Milken students joined the community at the Yom Ha’Shoah ceremony held at the Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust (LAMOTH) where a mural they created was unveiled. Designed to honor Holocaust survivor Helen Freeman, the mural depicts Helen’s story inside the harrowing concentration camp, using some of her own words and personal thoughts. It also interprets the freedom and beauty she experienced after the war.

Says art teacher and mentor on the project, Dori Kulwin, "To be involved in such a meaningful project where students paint from their heart, while honoring a survivor that contributes so much to her community, is a wonderful thing for a teacher to witness.”
Further, students from music teacher David Brown’s class performed for the audience that included about 20 Holocaust survivors. Many were moved to tears when they heard the students play an old Yiddish song called “Oyfn veg sheyt a boym” and softly sang along.
