Eileen Hildenbrand, chairperson of the English Department at Lansdale Catholic High School, expressed her delight at learning that her school will soon receive a coveted prize from the sponsors of the recent Mordechai Anielewicz Creative Arts Competition on the Holocaust -- the Clara Isaacman Memorial Holocaust Trunk: "This generous gift, valued at more than $1,500, will provide our students with a wealth of Holocaust educational materials that we did not currently have, and will be utilized by our students in a variety of subjects."

The Moore College of Art in Philadelphia has a provocative exhibit on display in its galleries through June 16. Thirty works by teenage artists representing 21 public, private and parochial schools throughout the Greater Philadelphia area honor the memory of a young man who died before realizing his own creative potential.

The Mordechai Anielewicz Creative Arts Competition, now in its 37th year, provides an opportunity for students of all religious and ethnic backgrounds to respond to the Holocaust and related issues of prejudice and tolerance by means of creative expression. Students in grades 7-12 are invited to submit original written, musical, art, film and creative dance works which focus on Holocaust themes. The contest is named in memory of the young leader of the Jewish revolt against the Nazis in the Warsaw Ghetto.   Click on the links below for information on the MA 2009-2010 Competition.
