Today, the students watched the documentary video entitled "Elie Wiesel Goes Home" (Part 1). In today's video, the students witnessed Elie Wiesel visiting his childhood home in Romania where he was deported to Auschwitz in April 1944. Mr. Wiesel tells the story of his deportation and the separation from his family and friends and the impact on his adult life (memories).
Tomorrow, the video will continue with Part 2 (the visitation to Auschwitz). In the background, the words from "Night" tell the story of the memories and experiences of the days between 1944-1945 in the concentration/death camps.

About Me
- Mr. Gull
- Before I became a high school history teacher, I spent 14 years in the corporate world where I specialized in Healthcare Administration. In addition, I spent 3 1/2 years participating in professional sports (Satellite Professional Tennis Tour and Professional Golf Mini-Tours). In 2005, I found I really loved working in the classroom, so I returned to graduate school to earn my Masters degree in Education. I CAN'T IMAGINE DOING ANYTHING ELSE...I LOVE WORKING WITH MY STUDENTS!
