One project. A lifetime of perspective. 🦋

With an #MSHEF grant, Wall ISD students honored Holocaust lives through the Butterfly Project—lessons in empathy that go beyond the classroom.

Thank you for making this possible.

Matt Majka’s first lesson in the Holocaust wasn’t a textbook—it was seeing the shoes at the @HolocaustMuseum.

Now a HS teacher, he brings that experience to his classroom as a responsibility, not just a unit.

👇 How did you first learn about the Holocaust?

#HolocaustEducation

[Mark Schonwetter Holocaust Education Foundation @mshefoundation]

Why the shoes? 👟

The JFTL logo honors Mark Schonwetter’s survival. This May, walk, run, or ride 15 miles—the distance Mark walked in one night to escape the Nazis—to support Holocaust Education.

Zofia Dziedzic Trojan was just a child when she helped her parents hide #MarkSchonwetter & family from the Nazis—risking everything to keep them safe. This #WomensHistoryMonth, we honor Zofia’s quiet courage and the power of choosing compassion over fear.

At Arthur L. Johnson High School, a new Holocaust & Genocide Resource Center now lives inside the media center — a permanent place where students can learn, reflect, and confront history.
