Eighth-graders create Holocaust museum
CHAMPAIGN – The hallway and classrooms at Franklin Middle School were draped with black paper chains and lined with displays.
The students standing in front of them rattled off the facts to visitors – 83,000 Jews dead from starvation or disease in the Warsaw Ghetto. Families sending children into hiding. People waiting for days at a switching yard, without food or water, to board a train to a concentration camp. The indoctrination of young people in the Hitler's Youth program. The Allied and Axis powers. Six million Jews killed.
