Crocus Project.

The Irish Holocaust Education Foundation (HETI) has provided us with crocus yellow bulbs to plant in memory of the one and a half million children who died in the Holocaust and thousands of other children who were victims of Nazi atrocities. The yellow flower recalls the yellow of the Star of David that the Jews were forced to sew on their clothes during the Nazi rule. The crocuses have flowered around the date of the Day of Memory. These beautiful flowers also remind us that after the most terrible events, a new life begins and we can hope that everything is better than it was before.The flowers remind us that in the world there is still beauty and hope for our future. The class actively participated in the project, doing a search among hundreds of thousands of children who were killed by the Nazis, each student dedicated a flower to one of those children. On Memorial Day they remembered and prayed because the most effective weapon against every kind of madness and evil is memory.
