On November 16, 2006, Timberlake
Junior High was the proud host of Living Voices, bringing life to
history.
Living Voices uses a unique
combination of Theatre, Video, and Live Interaction to create a
high impact experience allowing audiences to discover history's
relevance to their lives.
Our 8th grade students had
Through The Eyes of a Friend: Share the world of Anne Frank,
performed for them. Living Voices described it as "a portrait of young people in
the Holocaust."
T hrough
The Eyes of a Friend
is told from the view point of a fictional "best friend" of Anne
Frank. Sarah is a composite character inspired by the experiences and
testimonies of many individuals who knew Anne Frank at certain points in
her life as well as those young people who experienced the Holocaust
throughout Europe.

Our actress did a fantastic job of helping us understand who Anne Frank
was and why she has become an icon for the Holocaust. Video images of
Anne Frank before WWII, of Hitler's conquests and the concentration
camps of the Holocaust played while "Sarah Weis" (composite
character) recounted Anne's life and ultimate death.

On October 30th this year, our 8th grade students had the opportunity to
view the exhibit, "Anne Frank: A Private Photo Album" that was on loan
from The Anne Frank Center USA at the Human Rights Education Center in
Coeur d' Alene. |
|
 |
Seventy black and white photographs were on
display. The photographs of Anne and her sister Margot, include scenes
of family life such as birthday parties, beach outings and day trips,
all before the Holocaust. The display made Anne Frank and her family
real to us. The family was just as ordinary as any of our
families, they played, worked and had friends.

Thanks to Mrs. Jenson, 7th grade social studies teacher, for having Dr. Charles Mugo from
South Africa come and speak to us. He shared what life is like
for young people in Kenya as well as some of Africa's history. Wow, he
was great ! |
