The Daniel Pearl Education Center’s annual Washington, DC trip to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum proved to be another another meaningful experience for East Brunswick-area students.
This year’s trip on MLK Day once again included students from Temple B’nai Shalom, Hatikvah International Academy Charter School and St. Bartholomew’s School. In all, nearly 70 students participated.
The students, along with parents and chaperones, spent about three hours quietly touring the museum. After lunch, they visited the Lincoln Memorial and also had the opportunity to stand on the spot where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave his historic “I have a dream” speech in 1963. The trip also included a walk past the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.
