300 students listen to Robert H. share his story of survival

300 4th and 5th grade students crowded into the Seattle Public Library's Microsoft Auditorium to hear speakers bureau member and Holocaust survivor Robert H. share his story.

All of the students are participating in the Seatle Public Library's Global Reading Challenge. The Global Reading Challenge this year includes the book Vive La Paris, a story about a young African American girl and her witty piano teacher, who is also a Holocaust survivor.

Students came from across Seattle - Orca Elementary, Roxhill Elementary, and Beacon Hill Elementary schools.

Special thanks to Mary Palmer, Children's Librarian and head of the Global Reading Challenge at the Seattle Public Library for her dedication and organization of this great event.
