Judith Black, a nationally renowned
artist and storyteller, brings history alive. She dives into
times and places creating compelling, humorous, and riveting stories
that she tells with warmth and a dramatic flair. Her stories grab
the hearts and minds of students, leading them on perilous, heartfelt
and sometimes outrageous journeys through times and places that would
otherwise have remained anonymous dates on a page.
 February
25, 2005: Eighth graders learned about the
Holocaust (WWII Unit) through the riveting story
of a young girl who was taken from her home in
Hungary with all the other Jews in town.
Judith Black did a remarkable job of leading the
students through the events and letting them get
a glimpse at what it must've been like to be a
Jew during WWII. Afterward she posed
questions to the students to get them to think
about the perpetrators, victims, and bystanders
in the story. She related it to their own
interactions in school between bullies and
victims and emphasized that the story is a
lesson in indifference. Bystanders can
intervene and make a difference. What a
wonderful story and lesson!
