NBC Learn came to town and filmed in my classroom in late April. We were learning about some pretty heavy stuff, the liberation of the camps, in this case Dachau.
It was a good experience for my kids to kind of demonstrate what they learned and why the study of this particular segment of history is something that shouldn’t be forgotten.
From the producer:
“Our site is accessed by thousands of teachers and students…. [for use as] on-line curriculum for middle school students on World War II.”
“I owe a debt to you and your students for your help on the video… By allowing us to film in the class and setting it up for us, you and your students provided a context that was so essential to tell Rich’s difficult story.”
It’s pretty well done and the kids did a great job.
UPDATE: Richard passed shortly after this interview was released. It was his last one. God speed, Rich.
