End of Schindler

Today we will discuss the end of Schindler--we ran out of time and need to watch the final scenes. I will hear your reaction to the final scenes and what they meant to the Jews, and we will discuss and plan our research for the Assessment project. We will also read an article in class that is from the Sunday's Projo about a German baroness living in Providence and the court case surrounding a piece of art she inherited from her uncle who purchased the piece of art from a Jewish art gallery that was forced to liquidate.
