Book excerpt: Very rarely in education, does a person find a group of students so passionate about a project that they touch lives all over the world? How many times have students stayed with something for over 11 years and were even there at the conclusion? Our story offers hope, determination and the ability to see that children can truly change the world. There are many stories out there about the Holocaust, but none that took over 11 years to complete. Our Bandage Project touched lives in ALL 50 states and in 23 countries! Our story even touched the Anne Frank house in Amsterdam. My students received visits from the Anne Frank staff and were invited to share their story at museums and schools across the country. What also makes out story unique, is that our students are 100% high poverty mostly minority students. These children had never even heard of the Holocaust before. No one expected this project to be successful in the beginning except a group of kids and their teacher. This story begins with best friends of different races and ends with children of all races joining together to help its completion. Our story gave others courage to stand up and most of all, our story helped heal lives of those personally affected by the Holocaust. Our story gives those children who never were able to live to tell their story, a chance to be remembered. Our book begs to be shared with the world along with the Bandage Project container filled with the over 1.5 million bandages with names to honor all of those innocent children murdered during the Holocaust.
