Vera Windish '24 wins Student Holocaust Education Competition

Vera Windish, an eleventh-grade AP Language and Composition student, has won first place in the Vermont Holocaust Memorial Student Writing and Poster contest for her poem entitled “The Cost of Saluting Ignorance,” linked here.

The theme of the contest was: “Why is it important for students to learn about the Holocaust?” and Vera addressed that theme with a moving and vivid narrative poem about the impacts of antisemitism. Her poem was displayed at the Vermont State House in honor of Holocaust Remembrance Day on April 18th. Congratulations, Vera!
