On Friday, March 10th, iTech sponsored “Voices Not Forgotten” at the Skyview High School Auditorium from 9:50 – 11:15 am. This event featured a panel of guest speakers that will share their experiences from World War II with our students and community. Guests, Jean Matsumoto and Etsu Osaki, shared how they lived through their imprisonment in internment camps in the United States due to President Roosevelt’s Executive Order 9066. The other guests, Anneke Bloomfield and Deb Mrowka, shared their stories as they survived in Europe during the Holocaust and the reign of Adolf Hitler.
A huge thank you goes to the Oregon Nikkei Legacy Center and the The Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education. Their dedication to awareness and education is what makes this event possible.
