Darby Leigh with the New York Society for the Deaf shares that ‘The March of the Living’, a holocaust educational program which involves classes, lectures, and ultimately a two week trip to Poland and Israel (April 30 to May 15) to visit the sites of the former concentration camps and ghettos and then to celebrate Independence Day in Israel is seeking Deaf students to participate for the first time since the programs inception. Deaf students would be able to participate, along with 7,000 students from all over the world, in this international event with Deaf staff members and sign language interpreters. There is scholarship money available for qualified applicants. If you are interested, or know someone who might be interested, call (212) 777-3900, ext. 120 for more information.
