Stephen Berger, a Holocaust survivor
Holocaust survivor speaks to M.V. students
from Strasshof, Austria,
recently visited with members
of the Christ the King High School
freshmen class at the Middle Village
campus. He spoke about the events
that impacted his life during World
War II, and his experience in a Nazi
concentration camp. Berger has
been visiting Christ the King for
the last 19 years, teaching generations
of children about the horrific
experience.
“We are grateful to have a friend
like Mr. Berger who can provide
real life perspective to one of the
greatest atrocities of our time,”
Christ the King Principal Geri
Martinez said. “As grim a subject
as the Holocaust is, the students
learn a great deal from Mr. Berger’s
testimonial.”
