Steven Spielberg debuts IWitness, a Holocaust testimonial project

[Frank W. Baker]

The IWitness Challenge allows students in sixth grade through graduate school to create their own personalized video projects based on the (Holocaust survivor) testimonials. Some have already done so, and a few in attendance at the event showed off their projects, which transformed the emotional testimonials into pieces of living art. For example, one middle-school student named Corah, who attends the Chandler School in Pasadena, Calif., created a word poem based on the video testimonial of Holocaust survivor Paula Lebovics.
