A New Project of Goodwill by CANTOR ESTHERLEON SCHWARTZ
KEEPING MEMORIES
OF THE HOLOCAUST ALIVE IN LOS ANGELES
In the midst of his campaign
for Los Angeles City Council, Leonard F. Delpit, felt compelled to address the
fiasco at the Rialto school, (http://www.cbsnews.com/news/furor-over-school-essay-assignment-questioning-whether-holocaust-happened/). Delpit contacted his good friend, Daymond R.
Johnson, President of the Animo Classified Employees Association, to brainstorm
about creating a venue to keep the history and truth of the Holocaust alive in
Los Angeles schools and throughout the nation.
Their solution:
At the top of Delpit and
Johnson’s list to helm the new campaign was Cantor Estherleon Schwartz, a local
peace, goodwill and anti-hunger activist; while their eyes were set on the Animo
Pat Brown Charter School as the educational platform to launch the series.
“This may be the last
generation able to listen and speak to a child survivor of the Holocaust,” said
Johnson, who was instrumental in choosing Cantor Schwartz for the project.
Messrs. Delpit and Johnson went
from concept to action within days, having cemented a union between both the
Animo Pat Brown Charter School and Cantor Schwartz. The first presentation for the Cantor is tomorrow,
Tuesday, May 13th at 12:15 p.m.
Cantor Schwartz will engage her young audience using a multi-media platform
while sharing her personal experience as a childhood Holocaust survivor. Immediately following her presentation, the
Cantor will be available for questions from the students.
In attendance at tomorrow’s
venue will be a representative from Mark Ridley Thomas’ office. (An invitation was also extended to Governor Jerry
Brown and if he is not available, a representative from his office will be
welcomed.)
