Ed Lessing, one of the surviving Hidden Children of the Holocaust, spent a morning this week with our Fifth Grade students. He spoke about the compelling story of his two and a half years in hiding. Mr. Lessing mesmerized the children as he discussed many inconceivable experiences as part of the Dutch resistance when he was a teenager in Holland. Throughout his presentation, Mr. Lessing shared many pieces of his incredible artwork and brought in pictures of his family and friends from that very difficult time in his life. His story was both miraculous and astonishing. It is sure to be a morning the fifth graders will long remember
