Awesome Guest Speaker

Today we had an awesome guest speaker, Laila Wierzba, a Holocaust survivor whose story is quite similar to the story we are reading in class, Number the Stars. Laila was only 3 months old when her family left Denmark and escaped to Sweden during the 1943 raid on Copenhagen during the Nazi occupation.  She told an amazing story, and we learned a lot!
