Students need funding to complete Holocaust documentary
Carlsbad High School's award-winning broadcast news program, CHSTV, has undertaken a documentary about 16 suburban high school students who learn about the horror of the Holocaust while making a film about it.
"We Must Remember" began when a group of students traveled to Germany last April to film inside the Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site. Students also have filmed at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., inside the Auschwitz Concentration Camp Memorial Site outside of Krakow, Poland, and local Holocaust survivors and World War II veterans who helped liberate the camps.
The film is being produced with state-of-the-art equipment thanks to a grant, but additional funding is necessary to help complete the film by its target date of November, 2008. The final film will include additional curriculum materials for eighth through 11th grade teachers and will be available to schools throughout the nation.
