This week, the Upper School Social Studies Department partnered again with inSIGHT Through Education and hosted the Hate Ends Now Cattle Car exhibit for the third time at Saint Andrew’s School.
The Cattle Car is a 360-degree immersive and interactive exhibit that depicts the transportation of Jewish people and other targeted groups via a cattle car to concentration camps during the Holocaust. The 20-minute experience is narrated by two holocaust survivors, Hedy Bohm and Nate Leipcigar, who moved to Canada after the war and are now in their late 90s. Students, faculty, and staff also had the opportunity to visit the cattle car and view a collection of World War II artifacts set up in the Parker Library. Some of the artifacts included Nazi propaganda pieces, such as postcards and magazines, a Nazi children’s book, ID cards, and a prisoner uniform, which served as a reminder of the horrors of fascism.
