Dear Mr. Lesser,

Thank you so much for coming out to Northwest Career And Technical Acadamy today. I am an 11th grade student from NWCTA that heard the start of your story thus afternoon. I just want to say thank you. I have seen at least 5 or 6 Holocaust survivors so far and I plan to see as many a I can during my life. Yet, out of every survivor I have seen, you were the one that put everything into the best perspective for me. I would have much rather have sit down for 2 or so more hours and listened to your whole story then moved on in the event. I am sorry the organizers of the event only gave you an hour. During that hour though, I felt I could relive as much of your pain as possible, as I know I will never feel the full weight of it. I will pass your story in particular down for as many generations as I'm alive and greatly encourage my future children and grandchildren to do the same. So again Mr. Lesser thank you very much for reliving your expeirence again in order to share it with us students.

I will never forget.

Sincerely,
Chelsey,
Engineering Student
