In high school there are history projects, papers and lectures, lessons about life’s flattering and sometimes unflattering past. At Clements High School in Sugar Land there is the Hall of Remembrance - an entire second-floor hallway converted into a museum, open to the public and in remembrance of one event in our past: stories of the Holocaust. Images of a horror a mere 67 years behind us. For students it is the past come to life. Stories from those who lived through it
It's easy to forget you are in the halls of a high school, a makeshift exhibit built by students, but to feel the past surround you. The images and stories are painful reminders of our past, but lessons important for all of us.
Students say it teaches them to appreciate why they have in this free country.
