Holocaust survivor Eva Schloss, stepsister of famed diarist Anne Frank, met with the O.C. teens involved in the party that featured swastikas and Nazi salutes. “I hope the school and students have got the message and things will be different,” she said.
Schloss used her trip to reach out to the community, including some of the students who attended the party.
“I was their age when I realized my life was completely shattered and I would never have a family again,” she said.“I hope the school and students have got the message and things will be different,” she said. Newport Harbor’s Young Republicans Club has volunteered to coordinate a weekend cleanup day within the next six weeks to look for and remove any graffiti featuring hate speech from desks, restrooms and the school’s exterior. The campus’s Gay-Straight Alliance, Feminists Club, choir and sports teams also have stepped up to help, Principal Sean Boulton said.
With more Holocaust survivors dying every year, it falls to teachers and parents to introduce children to movies, plays and books about people who lived through it, Schloss said. It’s also important to fight intolerance when people defend hate speech, she added.
