My family met some friends at a local art center to watch this Academy Award winning documentary film. No words to describe the resilience & ongoing protests of the Palestinian people living for centuries in the West Bank.

This was a great conclusion to this series. Dani and Carmen are definitely one of my favorite couples. This was full of heart and rebellion. I truly enjoyed this book. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We are starting Night today in the 10th grade.One of the students‘ tasks is to explain what they think the quotes on this Preface Work paper, as well as chose their own quote.
My choice to explain: “‘The opposite of love is not hate, it‘s indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it‘s indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it‘s indifference. And the opposite of life, is not death, it‘s indifference.”‘ Timely read. #resistance
